Ontanon Clarete Pale Rose
Why this is on Broken Compass: Boutinot declare sustainable. Supplier sheet: sustainable.
What to expect
Lifted red berry aromas and delicate fruit characters. The palate is fresh, bright and quite vinous with balancing citrus acidity and an elegant, dry finish. Clarete is an officially classified style of Rosado, well-known within Rioja but almost never found outside the region. Quite serious in style, albeit with generous juicy fruit, and very good with food.

On the table
An interesting apéritif with assorted tapas equally good with roast poultry and grilled fish - very much a food wine.
