Garnacha accounts for 75% of the blend and Viura 25%, bringing together fragrant red fruit and white-grape freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 was made by the saignée method, with free-run juice spending around four hours in contact with the skins before cool fermentation. This brief extraction gives a delicate colour and supple fruit without heaviness. The wine is certified suitable for vegans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDelicate pale pink, clean and luminous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eNose\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFresh strawberry and watermelon are brightened by pomegranate, orange blossom and a twist of citrus peel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003ePalate\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoft at first, then crisp and refreshing, with red berry and melon flavours carried by lively acidity. Viura sharpens the generous Garnacha fruit, leaving a clean, dry and lightly floral finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFood pairing\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal with a picnic spread, smoked salmon sandwiches, tomato and burrata salad, grilled prawns, or a cold chicken and tarragon plate. It also works well with lightly spiced couscous and roasted vegetables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBackground story\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLa Lobera is Real Agrado's largest vineyard and contains the estate's broadest mix of grape varieties. Its stone-covered surface reflects light into the canopy and the poor soils encourage the vines to produce concentrated, characterful fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe classic rosado is conceived for freshness and easy enjoyment, but remains rooted in the same estate-grown philosophy as Real Agrado's rarer single-vineyard wines. Garnacha supplies perfume and generosity, with Viura adding brightness and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Real Agrado","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51567080571262,"sku":"RAROSADO23","price":16.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0036\/1984\/8252\/files\/the-rioja-discovery-twelve-bottle-collection-5-standardised-600x960.png?v=1791378674","url":"https:\/\/sommelierschoice.co.uk\/products\/rioja-oriental-rosado-doca-2023","provider":"Sommelier's Choice","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
