2014 Spain

Delicate orange-pink in colour, this wine is all about strawberries and cream. It has the texture and the weight to be a brilliantly food-friendly rosé and, unsurprisingly given its origin, could stand up to a flavoursome paella, or perhaps salmon with a sweet chilli glaze.

The finish is dry and moreish however with a savoury twist. This is a rosé that could be enjoyed right through to the autumn, and beyond.

A firm favourite from the Palacios stable, Finca Dofi has had a particularly successful outing in 2014. Generous from the outset, yet in no way lacking staying power, the blend of Garnacha ( 94%) and Samso ( 6%) reflects Alvaro’s great love of old Garnacha, in particular its floral aromatics, its intimations of concentration and power and the evocations of the distinctive schistous ( known locally as ‘licorella’) soils in the weave of its texture. A thoroughbred.
