Hi! I'm Mark Middlebrook. I'm here in the Paul Marcus Wines Warehouse. And in this segment, I'm going to talk about Rioja Rosado or Rose wines made in the Rioja region. In my first trip to Spain, I was in Northern Spain. And I asked for Rioja. I was thinking, I was going to get red wine. In fact, they served me a Rose. So they, it's a very common cell wine. You drink in bars and people's houses and so on. Roses are made in two fairly, contrasting styles in Rioja. This is a very special and unique style, old fashioned style made by Lopez de Heredia. It's a 1997, so as I'm talking right now, this wine is a 1 years old. Which is pretty strange for Rose. They make it like, they make their red wines and their white wines. That is they put it in oak barrels for a long time. And leave it in, put it in a bottle and let it age, even longer in the bottle. And what you get, is a wine that really drinks somewhere in between an old aged Burgundy red wine or a white Burgundy or white wine. It's got a lot of age on it. They're quite unique. Very spicy flavors, almost citronella like. Extremely aromatic, extremely unique. There's nothing, nothing like this that I've ever drunk. And I really enjoy these with seafood paellas. Things that have a lot of kind of, deep flavors to them. The other style of Rioja Rosado, Rose that you see, little bit more often. Are the kind of fresh, fruity kinds. If you've ever had Roses from Southern France. Somewhat similar in style to that. Maybe a little fruitier but they're young, they're bright, they're very refreshing. Great to sit out on a hot day on the porch and drink. Have with barbecue, sausages, things like that. Just uncomplicated, super refreshing, summery, summery Roses. Both styles are great. Try this if, if you can get your hands on one. And I particularly like the fresh, fruity style. Because it's inexpensive. And again, there's nothing, nothing like that kind of Rose to enjoy on a hot summer day.
