The Character
Tasting Notes Fairly full bodied on the palate, it combines the brightness of passionfruit and the depth of salty grilled peach with the savory mellowness of olive oil or tapenade. A unique rosé from a unique region. Sustainably grown.
Aromas Red and stone fruit, bright herbs, orange oil, salinity, and minerality
Pairings Carpaccio, salads, goat cheeses, mushrooms, seafood
Sustainability Sustainable In Practice
The Story
The yield from the 2021 harvest was particularly low, due to even drier than usual conditions during the season. The precious little wine that was produced is worth every drop of rain that fell: this rosé exudes texture and layered flavors that continue to amaze, sip after sip.

About Los Bermejos
Brand Story
Owned and run by winemaker Ignacio Valdera, Bermejos is on the easternmost island of Lanzarote. Only 125km from the African coast, conditions here are extreme. A volcanic explosion that lasted from 1730-1736 covered the entire island in lava and ash 3-5 meters deep. Consequently, each vine must be planted in a hole or hoyo that breaks through that infertile volcanic crust of petrified lava to the organic matter that can nourish it. The wind, which acts as a natural fungicide, is so ferocious that each hoyo is surrounded by rock walls for protection. Yields are miniscule (16 hL/ha). All vineyard work is done by hand.
