Pinea Korde Rose, Ribera del Duero, Spain 2022 Cote Rotie facings and diverse soilsBorn in Caldern, a vineyard planted in 1960 at 915 metres above sea level with a singular purpose: to give life to a clarete. Here, ungrafted vinesliving heritage that scarcely survives in Spainsink their roots into sandy limestone terraces, open to the calm of a landscape of rolling hills and rounded forms, closer to uplands than to Riberas usual postcard. This varietal mosaic is led by Bobal and Tinta Fina, alongside Garnacha, Albillo and Piruls.
