Can Sumoi Rosado la Rosa 2024 750ml

The 2024 La Rosa from Penedès is a distinctive and characterful Rosé, likely due in large part to its unique blend of 60% Sumoll and 40% Xarel-lo. Spice-forward and slightly oxidative in style, the La Rosa presents vermouth-like notes of nuts, herbs and spices in an attractively phenolic package. This sits in its own lane, and I quite like it for that.

Varietal

Rose

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.
