2021 AT Roca Classic Penedes Rosat

The mission at AT Roca, founded in 2013 by Agustí Torello Roca, his father and aunt, is to showcase their region: the eastern part of Penedès near the Massís del Garraf and the foothills of the d’Ordal mountains. AT Roca only works with indigenous Catalan grape varieties, and only using indigenous yeasts while harvesting 100% of their grapes by hand (most grapes in Cava and Classic Penedès are harvested by machine).

This sparkling rosé is made from equal parts Macabeu and Garnatxa. The Garnatxa is gently macerated with its skins for 9-12 hours, giving the wine a very pale pink hue. Primary fermentation is in stainless steel using natural yeasts, and then aged sur lie for a minimum of 20 months and bottled with zero dosage.
