Without a doubt, the best option for the first country aperitifs is a chamomile, in this case it is a light, fresh chamomile, full of flower and easy to swallow. Pale in color and intense nose. Subtle saline, almond and chamomile notes. In the mouth it is fluid, enveloping and with a long finish. It has been aged for about 4 years in the accurate system of criaderas and soleras.
In addition to being a delicious cava, its bubble is very delicate and its pale pink color makes it very attractive to the eye. It is a very subtle sparkling wine, but its 36 months of aging give it complexity and breadth in the mouth, well supported by a generous acidity. Aromas of strawberry and cream, red fruits, blueberries, white flowers, sweet spices and hints of fresh yeast stand out.
Delicious rosé wine, aromatic, fresh, jovial and ideal for a country and spring day. It is made 100% with Tempranillo grapes and after a short maceration of 12 hours, it is bled and subsequently fermented. It is expressed very fragrant, floral and fruity. The strawberry and raspberry, red candy and some dairy touch stand out. The red berries ring in the mouth and it has a sweet touch.
It is a refreshing sparkling wine that is made with partially fermented Verdejo and Gewürztraminer grape must, which gives it a slight touch of sweetness. It is ideal for those who are entering the world of wine in general since it is very pleasant to drink. It has aromas of orange blossom, pineapple, lemon, lime and stone fruit. In the mouth the bubble is so fine that it caresses the palate as it passes.
A full-bodied red wine should not be missing at a picnic. I find a great concentration of ripe fruit, violets, chocolates, sweet spices, coffee, toast, notes of ash and fine woods, due to its 12 months of aging in French and American oak barrels. In the mouth it is juicy, balanced and very palatable.
Raül Bobet, a well-known winemaker also in Priorat, is responsible for producing this young and fresh white wine, whose vines grow at high altitude and are worked with maximum respect for the environment. The nose delights us with touches of apricot, peach, white flowers and herbal notes. In the mouth it has very good acidity, density and above all balance. Its finish is slightly mineral.
Grenache is always delicious and on this occasion it offers us a very fresh and light-bodied profile. This organic vineyard is located in the La Granjilla area and on poor soil of granite origin. In the mouth it boasts acidity and we are seduced by its balance and fruit. Descriptors such as field flowers, aromatic herbs, strawberries and hints of incense define it perfectly on the nose.
