Vega Medien Brut Rosé Cava - Unión Vinícola del Este

Vega Medien Brut Rosé is made from 100% Garnacha, which is sourced from selected north-facing plots in western Requena. North-facing vineyards provide grapes with the freshness and aroma that is best used in a 'base wine' for a sparkling cava.

The grapes are hand-picked in small boxes to avoid crushing and oxidation during transport to the cellar. After a gentle crushing and a few hours of cool skin maceration, during which the must acquires its beautiful pink color, part of the must is allowed to run naturally into the fermentation tanks, without pressing.

The 'base wine' is then fermented cool in steel tanks, and then rests for a few weeks on its 'lie' (leak) - all this to optimize the aroma, finesse and fruit of the wine. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle according to the 'Méthode Traditionelle' technique and lasts 18 months.

Brut Rosé ferments completely and no sugar liqueur (Brut Nature) is added after stirring, which is why the cava is completely dry (1.1 g/l residual sugar). The cava has a beautiful, pink color, and the bubbles are small, lively and persistent.

The scent is very aromatic and immediate, with nuances of currants, cherries and wild raspberries.

The taste is also fruity and elegant with a crispness and purity that harmonizes nicely with the more creamy and velvety nuances in the aftertaste. Overall, a delicious sparkling rosé that is just right to enjoy as an aperitif but which can also - thanks to a good body and structure - be served nicely with dishes with, for example, shellfish, fish or poultry and veal in white sauces.
