Honorio Rubio Lías Finas Clarete 2020
HK$ 266.35
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Lías Finas Clarete is a pink/rosé/clarete produced with a blend of white Viura and red Garnacha grapes. As the name points out, it was aged in contact with the lees in 500-liter French oak barrels for some 16 months. It has a salmon color and, as with the whites, it's presented in a clear bottle that lets you admire the pale salmon tones. You anticipate a subtle rosé, but this is not your average rosé. Like its siblings, it has a strong personality and the aromas are unusual, with a mixture of iron, blood and dried leaves that surprised me. The palate has the freshness of a white, and like the rest of the wines, the oak is unnoticeable. An intriguing rosé that might develop further nuances in bottle. I'd like to see this again in a couple of years. 1,232 bottles produced.

Description
It is a wine made in Cordovín, a municipality located in the town of Najerilla, in La Rioja. It is one of the flagship wines of the Honorio Rubio winery, which has an almost century-old family tradition of dedication to winemaking. The vineyards are located in clay-limestone soil and the harvesting process is carried out in a traditional manner.
Winemaking
The first step consists of the careful selection of the Vitis vinifera fruit. A blend of white Viura and red Garnacha grapes is used to produce a rosé wine. Once the must is extracted, it rests in French oak barrels with a capacity of 225 liters, where it comes into contact with the fine lees.
The maceration lasts a total of 16 months and the result is a pinkish hue with light salmon nuances.
Taste
Its development on the palate is composed of vegetal notes and fruity flavors. It is a young and light wine, with spicy, spicy and sometimes woody nuances.
The ideal flavor for special occasions
Because of its fresh taste and versatility, Lías Finas Clarete is the ideal complement to liven up a romantic evening, share a light dinner or simply enjoy with friends. Its aftertaste is accentuated and remains on the palate long enough for you to deeply appreciate it. It is the perfect accompaniment to sushi, carpaccio or tartar.
