CLARELLA YOUNG ROSÉ WINE

Ull de Llebre

Camp estret, 880 m

"The noble wines of Clarella are born on the slopes of the Pyrenees, and the sheep, as an essential ally, cleans and nourishes our ancient vineyards".

In the county of Osona, for centuries the sheep has been a loyal companion and an essential part of country life. Historically, it has had a crucial role as an untiring ally that cleans the woods, vineyards and land, thus contributing to keeping the land fertile and in harmony with nature. For the farming community, the sheep has represented a guarantee of subsistence and source of wealth, since it has provided wool for making textiles and meat for food. Its presence has been fundamental in the territories of inland Catalonia, where its contribution has been essential for the balance of the ecosystem. Today, the sheep is still a symbol of the cultural identity of Osona, which reminds us of the importance of preserving traditions and the profound link between humankind and the territory.

VINIFICATION:

This rosé wine is made with the traditional saignée method and, in this case, of the best deposits of ull de llebre used for our reserve. These grapes are harvested in boxes of approximately 12 kg, picked from our best vineyards. Once the grapes reach the bodega, they are selected on our table, where only those grapes are chosen that have reached full ripening and which are in perfect condition. From here they go to the fermentation tanks, once the seed coat has been separated from the grape with a gentle deseeding process. Using a peristaltic pump, the grape seeds are directed to the stainless steel tank where the maceration process begins with the skins to extract their colour. The short maceration leads to the transfer of the must to another tank where the alcohol and malolactic fermentation begins at a controlled temperature of between 16° C and 18° C. When the fermentation of the sugars into alcohol is complete, the lees that have undertaken the fermentation are kept until the total refining. It is then bottled after a light clarification and very gentle filtration.
