Tasting note: Raíz Rosado de Lágrima is a bright strawberry pink with crystal-clear brilliance – fresh, elegant and inviting.

On the nose, the wine impresses with an intense fruitiness that is rather unusual for rosés in this category. Notes of red fruits such as sour cherries and wild strawberries dominate, accompanied by stone fruit and a floral note reminiscent of a spring garden—a true fragrant explosion.

On the palate, the rosé appears like a fresh wave of fruit—lively, juicy, and with pleasant acidity. The wine has body and volume, yet remains playful and easy to drink. The finish reveals red fruits and floral nuances, accompanied by a hint of white freshness and delicate perlage.

Food recommendation: Perfect with Mediterranean or Asian cuisine such as sushi, rice dishes, carpaccio, or steak tartare. Also ideal with appetizers, smoked meats, fresh salads, or soft cheeses such as goat cheese, Camembert, or Brie. Pairs wonderfully with pasta and light sauces, bringing freshness, color, and vitality to the plate.
