Chivite Las Fincas 2016
(Bodegas Julián Chivite)
Two greats, Arzak and Chivite, have joined forces in a different kind of venture, but with a style of wine that pleases consumers. A style of wine that gives the impression of softness at first, but then shows its character, liveliness body and intensity. This pale rosé, now a very popular colour, suggests subtlety and delicacy, but gradually shows its strength. Versatile, sophisticated and original, this wine is not what it seems and is bound to produce a reaction.
Appearance: Very pale pink salmon, clean and bright, dense tears.
Nose: Medium intensity, aromas of white flowers and the recognizable scent of roses or talcum powder, along with notes of delicate raspberry-like fruit.
Palate: Fresh on entry, thanks to its nice acidity, revealing a light body, delicate, soft fruit and a nice full finish. Retro-olfactory notes of red fruit and fennel.
Comment: Chivite is a reference for rosé wines, however, with this wine, it is making the transition to high-end gastronomy. Produced by Juan Mari Arzak, this rosé may be different from the rosés usually produced by Chivite, but it won’t leave you indifferent.
