The fruit comes from old, low-yielding Garnacha vines grown on iron-rich clay and limestone terraces, which naturally capture a deep structural intensity. Following a brief maceration to extract color and fine phenolics, the juice undergoes a slow spontaneous fermentation in neutral oak vessels. It is then aged for a patient thirty months in large, old wood casks, allowing the liquid to breathe and evolve into a deeply complex, savory style that mirrors the historic pink wines of Rioja's past.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it shows a stunning, deep coppery-salmon hue with brilliant golden edges. The nose is highly complex and broad, moving far beyond simple fruit to offer dried red currants, orange peel, wild thyme, and a faint hint of toasted almond. On the palate, the extensive wood aging reveals a fleshy, texturally rich mid-palate anchored by a fine, \"crystalline\" tannic framework. A sweeping wave of cool-climate mountain acidity balances the wine's impressive physical weight, keeping it vibrant and nimble. The finish is remarkably long, dry, and savory, leaving a persistent impression of dried cherries, blood orange zest, and crushed stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jose Luis Ripa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49857596162288,"sku":"ASSIGN","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/3678\/4368\/files\/Comingsoon.png?v=1768455940","url":"https:\/\/www.lessismorewines.com\/products\/jose-luis-ripa-rioja-rose-garnacha-2020","provider":"LESS IS MORE WINES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
