They produced a village rosé, the 2022 Gratallops Vi de Villa Rosat, the second vintage of this pale rosé produced with a blend of Garnacha, Cariñena and white Macabeu. The aim is to produce a gastronomical rosé, with complexity, not fruit driven and with some aging potential. It’s not a shy wine at 14% alcohol, and it has a powerful palate with good balance. It went through full malolactic and matured in a 2,500-liter oak foudre for 16 months without being racked. Despite the pink color, the feeling is that it could be a white wine, especially the nose, which is full of aromatic herbs and flowers, hints of dry hay and straw and a spicy twist, with a notable absence of fruity aromas. It has a serious, medium-bodied and balanced palate, tasty, savory, almost salty, with a velvety texture. Curiously enough, the grapes come from the warmer vineyards they have, in Manyettes, a place where the grapes tend to be overripe. Christian insisted on harvesting the grapes when they are crunchy, ignoring the skins and focusing on the vitality of the grapes, when they have the energy for an elegant fermentation. In 2022, they harvested the grapes very early. 3,100 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2024.
Rosé blends, a captivating category in the world of wine, represent a harmonious fusion of red and white grape varietals. Distinctive for their enchanting pink hue, these wines embody the art of balance, blending the robust character of reds with the crispness of whites. Renowned for their versatility, rosé blends offer a diverse palate experience, ranging from bone-dry to subtly sweet, catering to a spectrum of preferences.
Crafting a quality rosé blend requires a winemaker’s expertise to achieve the desired color and flavor profile. Typically, red grape varietals such as Grenache, Syrah, or Sangiovese are coupled with whites like Sauvignon Blanc or Vermentino. The result is a refreshing and vibrant wine with nuanced aromas, making it a perfect companion for various occasions. Whether sipped on a summer day or paired with a gourmet meal, rosé blends exemplify the epitome of elegance, inviting both novices and connoisseurs to explore the nuanced world of wine.
Country
Spain
Ever since the Phoenicians and Romans brought their knowledge of vine cultivation to Spanish soils, the country's culture has grown alongside wine production, with wine being a vital part of Spanish identity and Spanish traditions. Each region of Spain has a wine quite distinct from the others, and it is produced by smallholders and families as much as it is by large companies and established wineries. From the relatively mild and lush regions of La Rioja to the arid plateaus that surround Madrid, grapes are grown in abundance for the now booming Spanish wine industry, and new laws and regulations have recently been put in place to keep the country's standards high. By combining traditional practices with modern technology, Spanish wineries are continuing to produce distinctive wines of great character, flavor and aroma, with the focus shifting in recent decades to quality over quantity.
Region
Cataluna
The beautiful Spanish wine region of Catalunya has a history of viticulture which stretches back for over a thousand years, and has been influenced by a wide range of people who moved through the region, and brought their wine making skills and expertise with them. The region itself is a sizeable one, covering an area of sixty thousand hectares, and within this space there resides over two hundred individual wineries, ranging from small, independent and traditional ones to the larger, mass production bodegas known around the world. The terroir of Catalunya is varied, and ranges from being dry and arid, to more lush and green in the wetter parts of the region which are closer to the coast. This variation in terroir results in a fantastic range of grape varietals being grown, and a wide range of wine styles are produced within Catalunya.

Winery Notes
Rated 94 - Remarkable depth for a ros, wine; cranberry, raspberry and pomegranate fruits, with a wet stone character underpinning the ripe fruit and some delicate florals to be teased out. Far more substantial than your typical ros, wine. Very refreshing and with a touch of grip on the palate, too! - Tim Atkin
