Las Campanas Rose

There is weight and body to this Garnacha Rose, yet it is not overbearing. We loved the apricot and peach presence, these flavors and a citrus kick keep the party going on the palate for some time. The pale pink colour comes from the local “Sangrado” technique, a short maceration between 1-2 hours only.

Las Campanas was founded in 1864 and is the oldest winery in Navarra, located in Northern Spain near the famous town of Pamplona. This is where the famous running of the bulls takes place. We think making wine is much safer. The estate is part of the huge Manzanos Company with holdings all over Spain, many of which are in the most prestigious wine areas. Campanas alone has more than 1100 acres of vineyards. The vines are typically 15-20 years of age except the Grenache plot, from which our selection hails. It is over 35 years old and accounts for the tremendous depth in this rose.

One of the main characteristics that define the D.O. of Navarra is the great diversity of landscapes and climates that covers the 100 km from north to south: Atlantic, Continental and Mediterranean climates converge in such defined area.

Fresh, elegant, balanced with an aftertaste reminiscent of summer citrus flavours. Try it with fried fritters with a filling of your choice: mussels, white bait or courgette.
