This delicious rosé comes 100% from the bodega's favorite grape variety, Grenache Noir. Harvested at full maturity, Las Rocas Rosado is fresh, fruity and intense, both in color and nose. It reveals notes of strawberry and raspberry, typical of Grenache in these latitudes. A well-made, all-purpose wine that's a worthy accompaniment to most summer dishes... A sure bet!
