Winemaking Notes: The juice macerates with the skins for about one day or less. The wine is fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel and is lightly filtered before bottling.

Tasting Notes: The pale pink wine is crisp and vibrant with notes of strawberry, raspberry, and fresh cut watermelon that is held up by a mineral backbone. The finish is refreshing with hints of ripe fig, tangerine, and crushed wet rock.

    The 2022 Rose Pinot Noir Terroir Unico from La Arboleda is an off-white copper color. An intense nose presents sweet and sour cherry and rose petal notes. In the mouth, it has a compelling malic freshness and a lovely electric flow thanks to the altitude and decision to harvest early.
