Grapes: Tempranillo, Garnacha, Bobal, Monastrell, Viura, Albillo and Malvasia

‘Ojo Gallo’, Castellano for ‘rooster eye’ (in other words, what the French call ‘oeil de perdrix’), hearkens back to the traditional clarete style of the region.

This dark rosé (light red?) is a field blend local grapes co-fermented in cement and raised for 8 months in used barrels before bottling without added sulfur for peak drinkability. Crisp and refreshing, with flavors of red berries and a touch of citrus zest. This medium-bodied beauty balances lively acidity, fruitiness and a smooth finish. Delicious!
