VARIETIES : 50% Viura - 50% Garnacha.
VINEYARDS : The plots, owned by the bodega, are in 4 localities in the Rioja Alta (Cuzcurrita de Río Tirón, Sajazarra, Tirgo and Villaseca). The growth cycle is carefully monitored so that the best grapes can be chosen to achieve the ideal blend of the inherent qualities of the different varieties used when the time to harvest comes.
WINEMAKING METHOD : The grapes and free-run juice are left bleeding in stainless steel vats after 24-48 hours cold maceration. After static clarification the must ferments at a temperature of between 17 and 21 ºC.
TASTING NOTES : A pale pink, salmon-tinged colour, typical of the rosé wines from Rioja Alta Denominación de Origen. Smooth, ripe fruit and floral aromas which combine with its light, yet full taste throughout to leave a final sensation which is fresh and yet at the same time warm.
Bodegas Taron is a cooperative based in the northernmost part of Rioja Alta, with 200 families owning 700 hectares of vines around 4 small towns: Cuzcurrita de Rio Tiron, Sajazarra, Villaseca and Tirgo. These families decided that since they share the same landscape and culture, they would benefit from pooling together their vineyards and knowledge to create one Bodega focused on creating high quality Rioja`s. Viticulture and historical heritage are the axes of the wine activity in Bodegas Tarón. A privileged environment of Rioja Alta: century-old vineyards, Romanesque churches and medieval castles outline our landscape.
SERVING TEMPERATURE : Best served at around 12ºC, with everything pink, salmon, tuna, prawn, crab, lobster, bacon, pizza...
