This rosé is produced by Bodegas Yuntero / Cooperativa Jesús del Perdón near Manzanares Membrilla (Castilla-La Mancha). Founded in 1954, the winery now sources grapes from no fewer than 102 growers, some of whom farm organically. Spain’s most famous red grape, Tempranillo, has also proven to make excellent rosé wines with plenty of aroma, juicy fruit and immediate appeal. This is precisely the grape Bodegas Yuntero uses for this rosé.
After around 12 hours of skin maceration of the organically grown grapes—during which the must takes on its delicate pink colour—the juice is run into temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks (6–8°C), where it settles naturally for 48 hours. It is then fermented cool and slowly (14–16°C for 20 days) to enhance aroma, fruit character and crispness.
Momento Rosa shows a bright strawberry-pink colour and an inviting nose of strawberries, raspberries and pomegranate. The palate is very fresh, fruit-forward and crisp, with gentle spicy notes and a pleasing structure on the finish. A charming summer rosé for easy-going moments, but also a great match for vegetarian dishes, shellfish, fish and light meats.
