Production of Sardasol Rosado Navarra D.O.

The grapes for the Sardasol Rosado Navarra D.O. - Bodegas Alconde come from selected parcels in the Navarra region of Aragon. The climate combines influences from the Atlantic, the continental inland climate and Mediterranean warmth. Warm, dry summers and cool nights support a slow, even ripening of the Garnacha grapes. These conditions give rise to rosé wines with pronounced fruit, clear structure and an elegant profile.

The soils in the vineyards of Bodegas Alconde consist mainly of calcareous and clay layers with stony components. This composition limits yields and directs the vine’s energy into concentration in the berries. The result is intense aromas of red berries and at the same time a fresh, exciting character. Through the combination of soil diversity and altitude, the rosé attains its remarkable clarity and juicy character.

For the harvest of the Garnacha Tinta, the Bodegas Alconde estate chooses a time when freshness, fruit aromas and sugar ripeness are in an ideal balance. The grapes are transported gently to the winery in order to preserve the delicate aromas of the red berries. After a short maceration, during which the grape skins impart their delicate tint to the must, pressing follows. This creates the characteristic, bright rosé color with salmon-colored reflections.

Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Low fermentation temperatures preserve the clarity of the fruit aromas and give the wine its precise, fresh style. Stainless steel tanks do not influence the flavor with wood notes, so the focus remains entirely on strawberries, raspberries and currants. After fermentation, the wine rests on the fine lees, which gives it additional fullness, a smooth texture and harmonious balance.

The style of Bodegas Alconde is oriented toward the classic Old World, but interprets this tradition in a modern and straightforward way. Precise work in the vineyard, selective harvesting and gentle vinification in stainless steel put freshness, fruit and clarity at the forefront. The result is presented in the Sardasol Rosado Navarra D.O. - Bodegas Alconde as a rosé with high aspirations, yet uncomplicated, accessible and suitable for everyday enjoyment.
