"PRIMICIA" ROSE
PRODUCER: BODEGAS PRIMICIA
DO RIOJA - SPAIN
Bodegas Primicia started out in a medieval building in Laguardia.
The Madrid Castaneda brothers founded this winery in 1985, after a long family tradition of vine-growing. At the Vinexpo International Wine Challenge in Bordeaux, they were awarded the first prize, the Grand Prix D'honneur, for their Vina Diezmo 87 Reserve.
Spurred on by this success, Bodegas Primicia placed more emphasis on their cellar of new casks over the following years and have specialised in high quality wines while improving their installations.
Primicia Rose is made using only the first must of Grenache grapes.
This variety produces wines of good alcohol, usually with a scented nose. It is the dominant grape of southern France, playing an important part in making the wines of Cotes du Rhone, Provence and Languedoc-Rousillon.

Aroma of red fruits, raspberry and strawberry, direct and powerful.
In the mouth is gentle and delicate, with a hint of acidity which gives it freshness.
