Chivite has introduced the 'Colección 125 Gran Vino Rosado 2023,' a barrel-aged rosé crafted from Garnacha, Tempranillo and Syrah, featuring 9–12 months maturation in 225-litre French oak barrels. The release comes from grapes grown at the Legardeta Estate and is presented as part of Chivite’s historic Colección 125 line.

The 2023 vintage blended old-vine Garnacha, mature Tempranillo and younger Syrah from three distinct plots between 450 and 565 meters elevation, combining north-, south- and southwest-facing aspects. Fermentation and lees ageing in barrel contributed spicy, nutty and floral notes alongside raspberry and pomegranate aromatics, and production was limited to 12,500 bottles.

For consumers, the Gran Vino Rosado 2023 offers a fuller, cellar-friendly rosé option that bridges collectible red-wine structure and contemporary pink-wine drinkability. Its barrel treatment and vineyard sourcing signal a continued trend toward age-worthy rosés that appeal to collectors and adventurous rosé drinkers.
