Bodega Pirineos is located in Somontano, a wine region nestled at the foot of the Pyrenees in Aragon, Spain. Its unique climate, soil conditions, and altitude make Somontano a unique wine region, distinguishing itself from all other Spanish wine regions. In addition to Garnacha, other grape varieties are grown in Somontano, such as Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot for red wines, and Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Gewürztraminer for white wines. Following Somontano's recognition as a DO in 1984, Bodega Pirineos was founded in 1993. The winery's goal was to pool the knowledge and expertise of approximately 150 small winegrowers to produce high-quality wines.
The vinification process for Bodega Pirineos 3404 Rosé begins with the careful harvest of Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from the vineyards between Barbastro and Salas. The grapes are gently pressed to prevent oxidation and preserve the aromas of the grapes. The must is then filtered to ensure crystal-clear fermentation. During the maceration of the must, the aromas and flavors of the grapes are extracted, enhancing the wine's aromatic complexity. The wine is then fermented at controlled temperatures to preserve the aromas and flavors.
Bodega Pirineos 3404 Rosé has a light pink appearance in the glass. On the nose, the wine is fragrant, fresh, and floral with persistent aromas of citrus, violets, cherries, and roses. The palate is full-bodied and balanced, with plenty of volume and evenness. The acidity provides freshness on the palate. The wine pairs well with soupy rice dishes, tempura vegetables, poultry, and smoked fish.
