The 44 by Bronzeville Rosé Cava is a distinctive and elegant expression of craftsmanship, crafted by winemaker Maria Galup in Catalonia. Made from Trepat, an indigenous grape of the Penedès region, this rosé cava showcases the grape's natural bright acidity and soft tannins, which provide a beautifully integrated structure. The result is a wine with mouthwatering red fruit flavors and a gentle, balanced profile. This wine is not only a celebration of collaboration and artistry but also a tribute to the rich winemaking tradition of the region.
Vineyard Notes: The vineyards are located in northeastern Spain, just south of Barcelona, in the Alt Penedès subregion of the Penedès DO. Overlooking the Mediterranean at 176 meters (577 ft.) elevation, they lie in the town of Vilafranca del Penedès, where the ancient Greeks introduced vines before the 4th century BC. The soils, a mix of limestone, sand, and clay, offer excellent drainage and deep water retention. Poor in organic matter, these soils result in lower yields and a higher skin-to-juice ratio, producing grapes with intense, concentrated flavors. The region’s average growing-season temperature is 66.6oF, with annual rainfall of 24 inches.
Winemaking Notes: In accordance with DO Cava regulations, this wine is crafted using the traditional method, with secondary fermentation taking place in the bottle. It is aged for 12 months on the lees, surpassing the DO's minimum requirement of 9 months for added complexity and depth of flavor.
Tasting Notes: This rosé cava presents a beautiful dark pink color and a bouquet of strawberry and floral aromas. On the palate, it delivers ripe, juicy flavors of red fruit, with excellent length and a refreshing finish. The fine bubbles add a touch of elegance to the overall profile, making it a delightful, well-rounded sparkling wine. If you're looking for exceptional value in a rosé bubbly, this one is hard to beat.
Pairing Suggestions: The 44 by Bronzeville Rosé Cava pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes. Try it with fresh seafood like shrimp or lobster, or with charcuterie and soft cheeses like brie or goat cheese. It also complements light salads, roasted chicken, or creamy pasta dishes. Perfect for any celebration or as an everyday indulgence.
