Antidoto Le Rosé 2018
D.O RIBERA DEL DUERO
Fine Ink garnacha
Description
Antidoto Le Rosé is a rosé wine from the D.O.C. Ribera del Duero produced by Bodegas Antidoto.
A very particular rosé made in equal parts with tinto fino and albillo, the native white grape of Ribera del Duero, grown in calcareous soils and fermented and aged in 600-litre barrels.
Sourdais has embarked on the adventure of making the most ambitious Castilian rosé, "conceived from the vineyard itself, and not with the grapes that have been discarded for red wines" -the Frenchman points out-, from native varieties: tinto fino, garnacha and the white albillo.
Tasting notes of Antidoto Le Rosé

Palate: On the palate, Antídoto Le Rosé is fresh, with a well-balanced acidity that gives it vivacity. The fruity flavors unfold smoothly, highlighting fresh red fruit and a hint of citrus.
