Tasting note Castelo de Medina rosé
The summer rosé: light salmon pink in color and fine fruity fragrance with nuances of ripe fruits and herbs. Very suitable as an aperitif but also delicious with cold starters, the barbecue and fish.
Description
Provencal rosé is becoming increasingly popular in the Netherlands. Sara Román noticed the winemaker at Castelo de Medina in Rueda. This highly competent 'oenologist' graduated in 2013 as the winner of the great Mundus Vini wine competition: her verdejo was voted best Spanish white wine.
A maker of good white wine is usually also able to create high-level rosé because the vinification is very similar. That certainly applies to Sara who makes a rosé in Provencal style.
In Spain, light salmon-pink shades for rosé are virtually unknown, but the Grenadian grapes from Rueda are perfect for this. A direct gentle pressing of this blue grape variety gives the same salmon-colored hue as in Provence.
Compared to this, the Castelo tastes a bit juicier and creamier than the French original. It has therefore not become a copy thanks to the influence of the Ruedaterroir: this Spanish rosé has its own character. Sara and her team made a beautiful wine and were rewarded with a gold medal at the Lyon International Wine Competition.

Ik wilde deze rosé proberen want ben fan van de Verdejo van dit wijnhuis. Ik vind deze rosé echter niet spannend genoeg kleur is mooi licht, smaak fris en droog maar houd zelf van iets meer fruit in mijn rosé. Kwestie van smaak..
