SPAIN ROSÉ WINE

FINCA NUEVA CRIANZA †‡ DOCa Rioja

A really interesting, fluid wine, with mineral wet-stone freshness underpinning the black fruit. The tannins are drenched in Vichy Catalan (mineral water), clementine and orange peel. So fresh and lifted, with great poise and unapologetic modernity. Approachable, fresh and simply delicious, without undermining interest and com plexity. Drinking window: 2025-2034. Score: 94 (Ines Salpico, decanter.com, March 6, 2025) Medium-bodied & Fruity 292763 (XD) 750 ml $22.95 2

MIRADA ORGANIC ROSÉ VDT Castilla, vegan (Hammeken)

Balanced and round, this rosé leans heavily into strawberry fruit, with citrus, mild herbs, and rose petal notes in support. A distinct mineral character closes out the elegant, fresh profile. This is a fine sipping wine, but it has the body and structure to match with traditional and vegetarian barbecue fare.
