Protocolo Rosado made with Organic Grapes

Vino de la Tierra de Castilla

Vineyards located in D.O. Manchuela & D.O.Ca. Rioja

100% Tempranillo

Multiple vineyards managed by Dominio de Eguren in Manchuela, Spain.

Vineyards planted between five and 45 years ago.

The viticulture is managed by Dominio de Eguren, who leases the vineyards on long term contracts. Leased vineyards are selected for their advanced age, soils, and altitude in Manchuela. In Rioja and Toro, they select their youngest estate grown vines. In all cases, high density trellises and severe selection are used to reduce yield and increase quality.

Poor calcareous clay soils with a high proportion of limestone. The surface is spotted with pebbles, resulting in good surface drainage.

Continental climate with Mediterranean influence.

An eight hour cold soak in stainless steel is followed by a temperature controlled fermentation between 16° and 18° C to maintain freshness and aromatics. The wine is cold stabilized and lightly filtered.

The wine is bottled young to protect freshness.

The Eguren family produces some of the highest value table wines in Spain by applying their strict standards for quality viticulture to leased vineyards in Manchuela and young vineyards in Rioja and Toro. This attention to detail and quality in the viticultural and winemaking processes results in wines of incredible balance, freshness, and expression.
