Gaudiana Rosado - Pinord

In the glass, Gaudiana Rosado - Pinord shows a bright salmon pink with elegant shine. Even at the first swirl, the wine radiates vibrant freshness and draws fine streaks on the glass. This delicate play of color suits the style of this rosé from the Mediterranean Penedès perfectly.

On the nose, an intense aroma unfolds of ripe strawberries, juicy raspberries and fresh red currants. This is joined by a hint of red cherries, some pomegranate and a touch of pink grapefruit. Fine floral notes of rose petals and hibiscus underline its fragrant character. In the background, subtle herbal nuances resonate, such as lemon thyme and a hint of sage, recalling sun-drenched soils in Catalonia.

On the palate, Gaudiana Rosado - Pinord reveals a silky, gliding texture. The opening is juicy and fruit-driven, with red berry fruit clearly at the forefront. Strawberry and raspberry combine with an invigorating citrus freshness. The acidity is lively yet finely integrated, lending the rosé energy and drinkability. The body appears medium in weight, not too light but not heavy either, ideal for a versatile rosé with ambition.

The wine remains clearly dry and, in spite of the fruit, displays a straightforward, elegant structure. On the finish, currant aromas reappear, joined by a hint of blood orange and a delicate impression of white pepper. Fine, barely perceptible tannins from contact with the berry skins give the wine structure and length without disturbing the silky-soft texture.

The origin in the Penedès DO in Catalonia clearly shapes the character of this rosé. The Mediterranean climate with abundant sunshine, cool nights and the influence of the nearby sea yields grapes with intense fruit and fresh acidity. Calcareous and partly clay soils enhance the tension in the wine and express themselves in a subtle mineral vein that precisely coats the palate.

The blend of Merlot and Tempranillo unites two worlds. Merlot contributes fullness, soft berry fruit and a supple mouthfeel. Tempranillo delivers fresh red fruit, fine spice and a clear core. This combination fits perfectly with the modern rosé style, which here appears fruit-driven, fresh and yet structured. A rosé that shines happily on its own but also accompanies sophisticated dishes.

Production of Gaudiana Rosado by Pinord

The grapes for this rosé come from selected vineyards in Penedès, one of the most renowned regions in Catalonia. Gentle hills, proximity to the Mediterranean and cool inland winds provide a balanced climate. Warm days promote the ripening of the berries, while the nights preserve freshness. The soils consist of limestone, clay and partly stony sections and shape the wine with fine minerality and clarity.

Merlot and Tempranillo receive special care in the vineyard. In Penedès, Merlot shows aromatic depth, red fruit and gentle tannins. Tempranillo brings tension, spice and fresh cherry fruit. The combination of both grape varieties gives the flavor profile density and elegance. Harvesting takes place promptly as soon as the grapes appear aromatically ripe and sensorially balanced. This preserves freshness and allows the fruit to play the leading role in the wine.

After selective harvesting, the grapes are quickly brought to the winery of Bodegas Pinord in Vilafranca del Penedès. Here the berries are handled gently. First, the grapes are carefully destemmed so that only clean fruit reaches the press. A short maceration period extracts color and delicate tannins from the skins without weighing the wine down. This step creates the bright salmon pink and the typical berry aromatics.

The must then flows off gently and is transferred to temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks. There, fermentation takes place at cool temperatures to preserve the fine fruit aromas. Strawberry, raspberry and currant thus remain clear and fresh. Maturation in stainless steel preserves the pure fruit character and gives the rosé its precise, modern profile. Aging on fine lees rounds out the texture and enhances the silky, gliding mouthfeel.

Cellar work focuses on purity, freshness and balance. Oak is deliberately kept in the background so that red fruit, floral notes and regional origin take center stage. Before bottling, gentle clarification and filtration are carried out to create a brilliantly clear rosé. The wine then goes into the bottle with a classic cork closure, ready to be enjoyed in the glass.

With fish dishes, the rosé also reveals its strengths. It pairs ideally with grilled sea bream, salmon fillet, tuna tataki or grilled prawns.
