ABOUT THIS WINE
Edoné Gran Cuvée Rosé is an exceptional traditional method sparkling wine produced by Bodegas Balmoral at Finca El Moralejo. Located in the high-altitude region of Alpera (Albacete) in Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, at over 1,000 meters above sea level, the vineyards benefit from a unique microclimate with cold nights and warm days. This extreme continental climate allows for slow ripening, preserving high natural acidity and intense aromatic development. The estate is renowned for pioneering high-quality sparkling wines in a region traditionally known for bulk reds, proving that Spain's high-altitude terroirs can produce world-class sparkling wines with immense character and elegance.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Crafted using the traditional method (Método Tradicional), this sparkling rosé undergoes its secondary fermentation in the bottle. It is aged on its lees ('en rima') for an impressive minimum of 36 months in the estate's underground cellars. This extended autolysis imparts complex yeasty and brioche notes while maintaining a fine, persistent mousse. It is finished as an Extra Brut, ensuring a dry, crisp, and terroir-driven profile with minimal dosage to let the purity of the high-altitude fruit shine through.
