Les sorts rosat

There are rose wines that are perfect for summer, for easy entertainment and a good mood. And there are rosé wines that are like good friends who accompany you throughout the year. These wines are very special! They come from committed winegrowers who understand their craft and offer their products with full pride. Such a wine is the Les Sorts Rosat 2023. An absolute delight!

The grapes for Les sorts rose grow at a height of 100 m to 300 m in the calcareous, red clay floors in the surrounding area of the municipality of El Masroig. This unique location in the valley between the Montsantbergs and the Serra de Llaberia enables the vines to be refreshed from the cooling winds from the Mediterranean at night, while they can enjoy the warming sun rays of the summer sun during the day. There, the Garnatxa Negra vines, which are already 30 years old, thrive particularly well and give powerful, fruity wines of the highest quality.

The 2023 vintage was very warm and dry. The harvest took place in the first week of September. The harvesting amount was low again due to the heat and drought, but the grapes were very healthy. Despite high must weights, the wines are not missing acid. As always at Celler Masroig, the harvest took place by hand, and the grapes were brought to the basement in 15 kg boxes, the grapes were exposed and ground with the greatest care. Only the first delicate juice that runs without press printing was used for the unique Les sorts rosat (Saignée method). The fermentation in the stainless steel tank was started with pure breeding yeasts and took about 7 days at 16 ° C. Then the wine was allowed to continue ripening in the same tanks on the full yeast.  

The yeast that sinks to the tanker floor was regularly stirred up to promote the development of rich, beguiling flavors and a fully bodied body. In order to maintain the wonderful freshness, the biological acid reduction was dispensed with. In December 2023, the wine was first clarified, filtered and filled with vegetable protein.

With fresh acid and full body, Les Sorts Rosat is an excellent menu. Try it to risotto, seafood, Iberico ham and grilled light poultry or to ripe hard cheese.
