NV Sierra De Tolono Rioja Rosado

Mountain vineyards give this Rioja Rosado remarkable poise. Sierra de Toloño Rosado is crafted by Sandra Bravo from old, high-altitude vineyards in Rioja Alavesa, where organically and biodynamically farmed Tempranillo and Garnacha thrive in limestone-rich soils. Partial skin maceration, gentle pressing, and aging on the lees in neutral oak build texture without masking freshness. The result is a dry rosé with vibrant fruit, crisp acidity, and a finely etched mineral backbone that reflects its rugged landscape with precision and grace.

Nose: The bouquet feels vibrant and beautifully layered. Wild strawberry, raspberry, and red currant mingle with pink grapefruit, white flowers, and subtle Mediterranean herbs, while a delicate mineral note quietly emerges.

Palate: Freshness takes the lead. Juicy red berries and citrus glide across a silky texture, supported by lively acidity, gentle lees richness, and a savory mineral edge that adds striking definition.

Finish: Long, polished, and quietly complex. Lingering notes of cranberry, orange zest, and crushed stone fade with refreshing precision and a subtle touch of salinity.

This rosé thrives alongside vibrant cuisine. Pair it with grilled shrimp, seared tuna, roasted chicken, vegetable paella, charcuterie, goat cheese, or Mediterranean salads. Its bright acidity also complements sushi and lightly spiced dishes with effortless balance.
