2010 Molendores Rosado Prieto Picudo
Rosé
Spain: Tierra de Léon
Mission Briefing
Thanks, Spain!
In North Central Spain, the region of Tierra de Leon has produced the rare grape known as Prieto Picudo. This grape is unique to the area. Fortunately, our recent mission to this area has uncovered this wonderful wine, just in time for Thanksgiving.
Very few wineries produce a rich Rosé like this one, and we are very happy to share it with you, today. We believe that a dry Rosé is a wonderful complement to any holiday dinner table. This extremely flexible wine will pair well with many traditional dishes.
Elegant and silky on the palate, especially after it warms even slightly, this wine is recommended for fans of any exceptional Rosé.
