Naranjas Azules

Naranjas Azules is a very particular wine, something like a rosé-blanc de noir. It is made from red Grenache grapes grown in Cebreros, in the Sierra de Gredos. There, the old (over 50 years old) bush-trained vines of the most traditional red variety in Spain and the third most planted grape in the world survive on soils that are very poor in organic matter; they are loose, granitic sand soils with numerous slate outcrops, located at over 800 metres above sea level.

The vinification of Naranjas Azules is based on direct pressing and vatting without contact with the skins, which results in a practically white must from red grapes. 100% of the fermentation takes place at a low temperature in a concrete tank without any maceration.

This results in a very pale rose-coloured wine with pink reflections, bright, clean, transparent and very particular. Its aroma is elegant, complex and fresh, mixing characteristic varietal notes of red fruits, strawberry and cherry, with jasmine, mint and balsamic. On the palate it is light, but very fresh, complex and persistent, round and pleasant, with an aromatic and perfumed aftertaste.

It is suitable for consumption as an aperitif and to accompany dishes such as red tuna, salmon, rice, pasta and cheeses. Naranjas Azules is a sophisticated and dynamic wine for an audience that seeks something different.
