Herència Altés Garnatxa Rosat comes from younger estate vines of Garnatxa planted in the calcareous and sandy soils in the village of Batea. As with their Garnatxa Blanca, this wine is picked early to provide a refreshing balance to the sweet, red-fruit, and peppery character of Garnatxa Negra. When the clusters arrive at the cellar, they are pressed gently and directly to achieve a very pale pink color. This ensures a rose with floral and pepper aromas entirely from the free-run juice. The wine is then fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks—4,000 bottles produced annually.
