From the minimal-intervention pioneers at Alonso & Pedrajo in Villalba de Rioja, "La Pequeñita" Rosado Macerado is a wildly expressive and unconventional Spanish rosé. Grown at high altitudes where Atlantic and Mediterranean climates meet, the grapes undergo intentional skin maceration to extract a deeper color, richer texture, and complex tannic structure. It drinks almost like a light red wine, bursting with tart cherry, sour strawberry, and wild floral notes. The palate is sapid and juicy, finishing with a fascinating briny, earthy character that begs for food.

What is natural wine?
Natural wine is wine made with minimal intervention from the winemaker, using organically or biodynamically grown grapes and without the addition of chemicals or additives such as sulfites. The result is a wine that is unique, expressive, and often has a more complex and nuanced flavor profile than conventional wines. Natural wine is also often associated with sustainable and ethical farming practices, making it a popular choice for those interested in environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.
