AT Roca Pedregar

Tasting Note

In the glass, it exhibits supreme elegance with its characteristic "partridge-eye" color, an incredibly subtle pale pink with copper and salmon glints, accompanied by a remarkably fine bead forming elegant, slow-evolving rosaries. The nose reveals itself as shockingly complex, deep, and alluring; from the very first moment, neat notes of wild red berries and forest fruits provided by the Garnatxa captivate the senses, seamlessly interweaving with ripe stone fruit aromas like vineyard peach and soft citrus nuances. As it breathes, an array of creamy undertones unfolds, displaying fine pastry, fresh butter, a hint of saffron, and floral sparks of native Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, it is pure character, structure, and verticality. The entry is lively, backed by a razor-sharp, flawlessly integrated acidity that delivers immense freshness. The mouthfeel expands beautifully, becoming wide, velvety, and fascinatingly creamy thanks to its extended lees aging. The finish is exceptionally long and dry, dominated by a stunning chalky-mineral terroir stamp and a spicy aftertaste that calls for proper celebration.
