The Medina Rosé not to be missed

The summer rosé: light salmon pink in color and finely fruity in scent with nuances of ripe fruits and herbs. Very suitable as an aperitif but also delicious with cold starters, the barbecue and fish.

Ripe fruits & deliciously spicy

Provencal rosé is becoming increasingly popular in the Netherlands. Sara Román, the winemaker of Castelo de Medina in Rueda, also noticed this. In 2013, this highly competent graduate 'oenologist' became the winner of the great Mundus Vini wine competition: her verdejo was declared the 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. This certainly applies to Sara, who makes a Provencal-style rosé.

In Spain, light salmon-pink shades for rosé are virtually unknown, but the Grenache grapes from Rueda lend themselves perfectly to this. A direct soft 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. So, thanks to the influence of the Ruedaterroir, it has not become a copy: this Spanish rosé has its own character. Sara and her team have turned it into a beautiful wine and were rewarded with a gold medal at the International Wine Competition of Lyon.
