Pavlidis Estate Thema Tempranillo Rosé Dry Wine 750ml
Description
If it were from Rioja, the region where its grape variety originated, we wouldn’t call it rosé, but rosado. But it’s from Drama, and it can easily hold its own against many of its cousins on the Iberian Peninsula. Highly recommended.
Winemaking: This wine is made using a combination of two rosé wine production methods. One batch is pressed directly in the press, as if it were being made as a white wine, while a second is obtained by bleeding off juice from the tank where the Tempranillo skins are undergoing pre-fermentation maceration.
After the two batches are blended, the wine remains in the tank on its lees for 3 months.
Wine characteristics: This rosé wine stands out for its refined aromas of strawberry and forest fruits, with rose notes in the background. On the palate, the alcohol is balanced by the acidity, giving it a touch of sweetness and a long finish of ripe fruit and caramel.
Serving recommendations: Serve at 8-11 °C. It pairs beautifully with pasta dishes with red sauces, grilled fish, and white meats.
