Bodegas Nodus Nodus Rosado 2024

The fruit comes from the El Renegado vineyard which is situated in one of the premium winemaking areas in the DO Utiel-Requena. The vineyard lies approximately 50 miles inland from Valencia and has a distinct microclimate, which is best described as Mediterranean although it does have some continental influences due to its altitude, which varies from 800-900 metres. The diurnal temperature differences contribute to the aromatic profile and the nightly drop in temperatures helps the fruit to retain natural acidity. The warm summer sunshine encourages ripening, resulting in balanced fruit. Bobal is a dark-skinned wine grape variety native to Utiel-Requena, it has thick skin, is late budding and has good drought resistance properties, which ensures Bobal is wellsuited to the dry, continental landscape of the region. The grapes are picked at night when the temperature has dropped in order to fully preserve the aromatic properties. The vineyard is cultivated without synthetic herbicides and is certified organic.

The grapes underwent a brief, cool maceration to impart the vibrant pink colour from the Bobal skins to the must. Fermentation took place at 16°C in stainless steel tanks to preserve the purity of fruit and retain the refreshing, crisp character.
