Ameztoi Getariako Txakolina Rubentis Rosé 2019

Producer notes: “This light and crisp wine is bottled with residual carbon to give it its signature natural spritz. Candied red fruits combine with a lime infused edge makes this a wildly intriguing rosé. 50% Hondarribi Beltza (red) and 50% Hondarribi Zuri (white).”

Not yet reviewed; 2018 vintage rated 91 points by Josh Raynolds (Vinous): “Shimmering orange-pink. High-pitched red currant, strawberry, orange zest and a bright mineral element on the incisive nose. Lithe and penetrating on the palate, offering intense red berry and citrus fruit flavors that pick up a sexy floral quality as the wine stretches out. Delivers a solid punch of flavor but comes off lithe, betraying no excess fat and finishing very long and precise, with a lingering suggestion of bitter citrus pith. Drink: 2019-2022.”
