Maestro Tejero Amanda Rosado 2023 cave-de-beblenheim with notes of sweet spiceThis wild, pomegranate coloured rosado comes from a tiny, 60 year old, single vineyard called El Cuchillejo. Here the red juiced Garnacha Tintorera (Alicante Bouschet) vines grow on chalky clay soils at 930 meters of altitude, on the slopes of the Olmos de Duero valley.
