Les Vinyes del Convent "Lola Bel" Rosat
Les Vinyes del Convent / D.O. Terra Alta (Catalonia, Spain)
Wild Strawberry Patio Essential
Elegant, pale salmon-pink color with brilliant clarity. The nose is incredibly expressive and highly aromatic, jumping out of the glass with notes of fresh-picked strawberries, wild red currants, and bright, ripe citrus peels. On the palate, it delivers a wonderful tension—bursting with fresh red berry fruits balanced perfectly by a clean, zesty line of high acidity and a pleasantly dry, crisp finish.
⭐ (A beautifully fresh, young rosé sitting at 13% ABV. It goes through a meticulous 10-hour cold maceration before a long, cool, slow fermentation to preserve those delicate fruit esters cleanly, leaving it light and smooth on the body).
Grilled garlic prawns, summer tomato and feta salads, classic seafood paella, or lightly spiced local empanadas.
If your audience is tired of the same old provencal-style rosés, they need to look for a bottle of Hairy Grenache. Thanks to the unique, fuzzy leaves of the vine, the grapes don’t cook in the harsh southern Catalan sun, retaining a brilliant, mouth-watering acidity. This completely ditches any heavy, syrupy tones and delivers a beautiful, bone-dry profile that tastes like an absolute basket of crisp wild strawberries. It’s an elite warm-weather sipper that manages to be both wonderfully fun and uniquely complex.
