Contraban 2019

RIM

$32.95 Sale • Save

A savory and deep rose from Grenache and Macabeu with a co-ferment that gives it a dark color but vibrant nose and pallet from the white grapes. Great for pairing because of its heft, but still delicate enough to match lighter foods without overpowering.

His dedication extends beyond crafting exceptional wines; he actively endeavors to safeguard the area's historical winemaking traditions, collaborating with local universities and elder members of the village to document and preserve these practices for future generations.
