The bunches are destemmed and the grapes are co-macerated for 8 hours before being pressed to produce a lightly colored, elegant rosé. Temperature controlled fermentation (inoculated with neutral yeast) in stainless steel tanks.

The wine is bottled young after a few months in stainless steel to preserve freshness.

Quadrum Rose is a blend of Spain's two most important Spanish indigenous red varieties, Tempranillo and Garnacha. The dry hot climate in La Mancha is ideal for both of these varieties to achieve proper ripeness without having to use any harmful sprays. The naturally balanced Garnacha expresses ripe red red fruit while holding a crisp acidity and the Tempranillo offers structure and spice.
