WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Cepa Lebrel Rosado is produced using modern winemaking techniques at the Pagos del Rey winery in Rioja. The primary grape variety is Tempranillo. Following harvest, the grapes undergo gentle pressing to extract the desired color and flavor. Fermentation is carried out at controlled temperatures, typically in stainless steel tanks, to preserve the wine's fresh fruit aromas and vibrant acidity. This rosé is not aged in oak; instead, it spends a short period in stainless steel to maintain its youthful character and crispness. The focus is on producing a clean, fruit-forward, and approachable rosé that reflects the quality associated with the Rioja DOCa appellation.
