Perelada Inspirador Rosat 2024

Perelada is one of Catalonia's established houses, and this rosat comes from the D.O. Empordà in the northeast corner of the region, where the vineyards sit between the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean. Garnacha is the dominant grape here, well suited to the warm dry climate and the strong Tramuntana wind that ventilates the vines and keeps disease pressure low. The fruit is pressed gently with brief skin contact, giving the pale hue that mirrors the wine's lightness, and cool fermentation in stainless steel preserves the fresh red fruit and floral aromatics. The wine is vegan, made without animal derived fining agents, and is bottled young for early drinking. The colour is a pale pink. The nose shows fresh strawberry and raspberry with a gentle floral touch that recalls springtime. The palate is dry and fresh, with red cherry, pear and a soft citrus edge carried by clean acidity to a clean finish. Serve at 8 to 10 degrees as an aperitif or with light Mediterranean dishes.
