Castillo de Benizar Cabernet Sauvignon Rosado 2022
DO La Mancha, La Mancha, Spain
100% Cabernet Sauvignon | 12.5% ABV
We are delighted to offer the 2020 Rosado from Castillo de Benizar produced from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. It exudes a vibrant petal blush pink colour and a heady nose of strawberry confiture, cherry and raspberry. A more vinous style that remains fresh and expressive of its Cabernet roots. A single-varietal wine based exclusively on their best Cabernet Sauvignon vines.
Raspberry-red colour, very bright. Aroma of red fruits, strawberry and redcurrant, clean and powerful. Smooth, appealing palate with an elegant finish.
Service: Serve chilled at 6ºC - 8ºC.
Food Pairing: Good with rice dishes, pasta and fish in sauce.
