Penya del Castellet

Rosé wine · Guadalest Valley

Penya del Castellet

96 % Monastrell · 4 % Tempranillo · Vintage 2024

This rosé wine honours the Penya del Castellet, a cliff that stands out in the Valley and which houses the remains of a structure from the Arab period. The winemaking process begins with vinification in a stainless steel tank at a controlled, very slow temperature in order to enhance the floral and spicy aromas and the freshness of the Mediterranean. From the first bleeding and fermentation of its lees, the wine maintains the greatest freshness and aromatic intensity. Its pinkish tone with electric reflections is manifested in the mouth with a fresh flavour and hints of fruity acidity.

2024 vintage

The 2024 vintage

The 2024 season brought clear skies and little rainfall. Even so, the morning breezes of the Guadalest Valley and the drop in temperature at dusk gave balance and freshness to the ripe Monastrell grapes. The result is an elegant rosé with a Mediterranean soul and a subtle mineral character.
