Hammeken Miranda Organic Rosé

Hammeken Miranda Organic Rosé, Bobal and Tempranillo from Castile, Spain. Gorgeous pale pink color. The nose is reminiscent of strawberry, citrus and rose petals. The taste is refreshing with fine acidity and a mineral undertone. Delicious with salads with chicken or seafood.

Bobal is a strong and fruitful vine with very large bunches and is only planted in Spain. The grapes have a colorful skin and a lot of colorless flesh. Warmly colored red wines with black cherry fruit are made from it. In regions where summers are short-lived, wines from the bobal grape have a fairly high acidity and low alcohol content. The bobal is also used to give Grenache and Monastrell wines more acidity and to make them lighter.

Tempranillo betekent ‘vroeg’ en is een niet rechtopstaande wijnstok met grote, ongelijkvormige bladeren en grote trossen met dikke druiven. Zeer waarschijnlijk is het een inheems Spaans druivenras. Zijn oorsprong zou kunnen liggen in de Pyreneeën, waar in de 80-tige jaren nog wilde stokken van de tempranillo werden aangetroffen. Wordt veel in de Spaanse wijngebieden planted and is considered a very noble variety. This is partly because it is the most important grape in the quality areas Rioja and Ribera del Duero. Tempranillo produces dark wines with low acidity and alcohol content. Wood aging benefits the wines containing tempranillo and gives them extra softness. Is a good basis for red Rioja wines. Tempranillo is known in Penedés as ull de llebre and in La Mancha and in Valdepeñas known as cencibel
