Ronda rosé that is not a "soft drink"«

Some people think rosé is an inferior wine, something for those who don't know how to drink. Those people haven't tried it. Cloe Rose. Forget those garish pinks that taste like mass-produced lollipops. Here we're talking about a Garnacha 100% from the Serranía de Ronda, treated with almost obsessive care to achieve that elegant "onion skin" color.

It's a high-altitude wine, with the freshness of the mountains and the elegance of an expensive perfume. If you treat it like a poolside wine, you'll be missing the point of the film.

Instructions for use

• Don't even think about ice: This wine has an acidity and aromas of white flowers and red fruit that ice would instantly kill. Its perfect point is... 8ºC – 10ºC. Put it in the fridge, but don't leave it in the freezer until it's like slushies.

• The cup matters: Don't drink it from a plastic cup or a small tasting glass. Use a generous white wine glass. The wine needs air to touch it so those aromas of fine Garnacha can come out and greet you.

• What accompanies: He is the king of sushi And Asian food. But if you want something more local, try it with a creamy salmorejo or seafood rice. It has enough structure to hold its own against flavorful dishes.

The ritual

Pour a glass, hold it up to the light, and admire its pale salmon color. It's a visually stunning wine. Take the first sip and notice its smooth entry, followed by a dry finish that leaves you wanting another glass. It's the perfect wine for that moment when the sun begins to set and you decide the day has been long enough.

Enjoy it.
