An Award-Winning Rosé
A more natural elaboration is not possible. Nor more honest. The grapes are harvested at night and the grapes are gravity-bleeded to produce a powerful, colourful must that is fermented cold. The result is a very aromatic and smooth rosé. A simple look at the traditional elaboration of a wine that comes from Navarre to travel around the world.

We pick the grapes at night so that they arrive cold and we process them using the traditional bleeding method, so classic in Navarre. We obtain a small quantity of a powerful and colourful must that we call lágrima. Once fermented cold, we obtain a very aromatic, fruity and smooth rosé, with an almost sweet finish of great flavour.
HISTORY
The history of our winery began in 1956, when a group of small winegrowers from the Lerín area, convinced of the potential of their vineyards, decided to join forces and create a project whose main objective was to produce quality wines, sharing vineyards, working hand in hand and using techniques handed down from father to son since time immemorial, together they founded Bodegas Alconde, which has more than 510 hectares of vineyards in a privileged area of Navarre.
TERRITORY
The vineyards owned by Bodegas Alconde are over 50 years old and sometimes reach a century of existence. They are located in a region with a suitable climate for grape ripening, with cold temperatures in winter and warm in summer. The soils are very poor, chalky, suitable for small yields and with an abundance of pebbles that guarantee humidity to the deepest roots. We make smooth, balanced wines based on Tempranillo, the most traditional variety in the area, together with Garnacha, Graciano, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
