Finca El Sapo Rosé, Cariñena 2023
Beautifully delicate rosé from northern Spain, with a pale pink colour, aromas of summer berries and flowers, and a dry but rounded palate.
The grapes come from a mixture of bush and cordon-trained vines planted in light, pebbly soils. The hand-harvesting took place in the third week of September.
After a brief maceration to impart a delicate pink colour, temperature controlled fermentation took place in stainless steel, and the wine was bottled after a few months’ settling in tank.

Finca El Sapo was born to express the natural synergy between the Monastrell grape (aka Mourvèdre) and the unique vineyards of Jumilla. Named after the pass that meanders through the mountains towards the Mediterranean, Finca El Sapo has since expanded into Cariñena, in both cases drawing on low-yielding, old vine fruit to give wines of concentration, charm and personality.
