SPECIAL End of Vintage - Oates Ends Tempranillo Rose

Tempranillo is a vibrant, ripe berry fruited variety with loads of fresh strawberry flavour.  Harvested in the cool of the night to retain maximum fruit aromas and flavours the Tempranillo then pressed immediately to give just the faintest blush tint to the wine.  A cool fermentation in conditioned french oak barriqes for maturation for 9 months gives a lovely savoury spice to the wine and allowed for four months of resting on lees to add some creamy texture to the palate.
