Origin and terroir

The grapes for Haru Rosé come from carefully selected vineyards in southeastern Spain. The Mediterranean climate, with its many hours of sunshine, limited rainfall, and cooling nights, produces grapes that retain both aromatic ripeness and fresh acidity. The calcareous soils contribute to the elegant structure and mineral undertones of the wine. The combination of climate and soil results in a rosé that remains fresh and expressive without sacrificing concentration.

Grapes and vineyard management

Haru Rosé is made from carefully selected red grapes that are harvested early to preserve maximum freshness and aromatic intensity. In the vineyards, great attention is paid to a balanced yield and healthy grapes. Due to the relatively early harvest, the natural acidity is preserved, and the wine develops its characteristic refined fruit character with great tension and elegance.

Vinification and aging

After the harvest, the grapes are gently pressed, using only the best juice. Fermentation takes place under controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks to optimally preserve the fresh aromas. Subsequently, the wine remains on the fine lees for some time to develop additional texture and complexity. This sur lie aging results in a slightly creamier structure without compromising the lively character of the rosé.

Color, smell and taste

The wine has a bright light pink color with salmon-colored nuances. On the nose, aromas of strawberry, raspberry, redcurrant, and pomegranate dominate, complemented by notes of white flowers and a subtle citrus freshness. On the palate, the wine is juicy, lively, and elegant. The fresh red fruit is supported by beautiful acidity and a light mineral tension. The finish is clean, dry, and refreshing, inviting you to take another sip.

Style and character

Casa Rojo Haru Rosé is a modern rosé with a distinctly gastronomic style. Instead of a sweet or simple profile, the emphasis lies on freshness, finesse, and balance. As a result, the wine is not only delicious as an aperitif but also perfectly suitable for lunch or dinner. The combination of fruit, tension, and subtle creaminess makes this rosé versatile and accessible.

Volume

The 2022 vintage yielded healthy grapes with a beautiful aromatic concentration and fresh acidity. As a result, the wine presents itself as lively and balanced, with plenty of pure fruit and a refined structure. The expected drinking window runs from 2023 to 2026.

Food and wine pairings
