CASA BALAGUER | EL ROSADO DE PADILLA 2022 75cl

El Rosado de Padilla 2022 is a natural rosé wine made by Casa Balaguer – Vinessens in the D.O. Alicante, Spain. It comes from vineyards over 30 years old, cultivated organically and biodynamically in sandy and saline soils at the foot of the Sierra Salinas.

The harvest is done manually in 15 kg boxes. After maceration with skins and seeds for 3 to 4 hours, the must ferments spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in clay amphorae, without added sulfur or temperature control. The wine rests for 4 months in the same amphorae and is bottled unfined, unfiltered, and without added sulfur.
