Silice Rosado 2019

Silice Rosado is a rosé wine made from the Mencía, Merenzao and Palomino grape varieties. It has a unique colour due to its short maceration time, as the grape skins are removed before the wine acquires a more intense and concentrated colour. It is fermented with indigenous yeasts, partly in new barrels and also in stainless steel tanks.
