Great on it's own everyday drinking or with grilled red meats and hearty sausage or lentil casseroles.
The 2004 vintage, classified as “Excellent” by the Regulatory Council of the Rioja
denomination of origin, was one of the Rioja’s historic vintages.
The abundant rainfall, snow and absence of frost during the winter allowed for a good
fruit set. The weather was ideal along the entire vegetative cycle of the vine, especially
from mid-September on through to the end of the harvest.
The wines obtained of this vintage have offered the best quality parameters in recent
years.
Made with destemmed grapes following a long maceration. In 2004, the wine making
incorporated micro-oxygenation processes with which from the very first phases of the
winemaking it was possible to improve the work of the yeasts, avoid reductions and
stabilize the colour. Micro-oxygenation was also used between alcoholic and malolatic
fermentations in order to stabilize the colour. Aged for 36 months in second-use
American oak barrels and further 36 months in the bottle prior to market release.
Korde by Pinea 2020
Regular price £49.95 Sale price £45.00Visibly clean with aromas of raspberries, currants and black plums. And delicate citrus notes and subtle floral aromas. A full-bodied rosé wine. Its light red colour denotes brightness and subtle accents of yellow and orange highlights, achieved during the aged in oak.
KORDE is a unique rosé, made with 100% red grapes of the Tempranillo varietal, from a careful selection of clusters from our “La Encina” vineyards. These 40-year-old vines are planted at 3,050 feet above sea level in white sandy limestone soils, and a special bio-climate environment that gives KORDE grapes a super balance of acidity and flavour.
KORDE is fermented in ceramic eggs with extreme controls of temperature and careful maceration to maintain its rosé structure and minerality. It is then aged in French oak barrels from the famous tronçais and bertranges forests, made with staves of extra fine grain and medium toasting. The time of construction in barrel enriches our wine with delicate toast notes that, when combined with the freshness of the fruit, make Korde an expressive and elegant rosé of great depth.
