✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the sun-drenched hills of Catalunya, Viña Esmeralda Rosado is a tribute to the Mediterranean, taking its name from the emerald hues of the nearby sea. Crafted by the legendary Familia Torres, a winemaking dynasty with roots dating back to the 17th century, this elegant rosé is a contemporary expression of Catalan viticulture. Primarily crafted from Garnacha, the grapes are sourced from vineyards influenced by cooling sea breezes, preserving their vibrant acidity. The winemaking process focuses on minimal skin contact and cool fermentation in stainless steel, resulting in a pale, luminous rose petal color. It weaves a sensory tale of fresh red berries, delicate rosewater, and citrus undertones, capturing the breezy, carefree essence of coastal Spain.
