Finca Torremilanos, Clarete 'Ojo Gallo', 2024

Clarete is the old, regional way Ribera del Duero made wine before it became famous for big reds — white and red grapes from old field-blend vines, co-fermented together, somewhere between a rose and a light red. Finca Torremilanos, the first Demeter-certified biodynamic estate in the appellation, makes this 'Ojo Gallo' from a single old-vine vineyard, unfiltered and with minimal intervention. 'Ojo Gallo' is the traditional name for the rose's coppery color. It's a fascinating, food-friendly throwback. Serve it cool, even with a slight chill.
