Tim Atkin MW ( 2024 vintage): "The village of Ausejo, in the Rioja Oriental region, is the origin of this splendid rosé, made entirely from old-vine Garnacha. Combining stainless steel and 15% slightly wood-aged components, it is a spicy and fragrant wine, with aromas of anise, red currant, and rooibos tea, and a refreshing, acidic finish. 2026-29."
