Wii Gonzalo Gonzalo, Gran Cerdo Rosé, Rioja, Spain

Wii Gonzalo Gonzalo is considered quite a character and is certainly determined. They had an idea to make low interference wine in Rioja (revolutionary for the area) and set off to numerous banks where they were refused loans as wine was not considered a ‘impoundable assets’. Their determination and drive led them to friends and family and luckily they were able to turn their ideas to reality. As a little nod to the many bankers who refused their dreams, we have Gran Cerdo, literally ‘big pigs’ in English.

Vinified in concrete vats using indigenous yeasts. Kept as whole bunches so the juice bleeds from the skins were colour is optimal. Partial malolactic fermentation takes place. Unfined and unfiltered with a small amount of SO2 added. Sweet fruity aromas of berries and wild cherry.
