Partida Pedrer Rosat 2022
HK$ 409.39
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The freshness and absence of fruit of the 2022 Partida Pedrer Rosat has to do with the Monastrell (which is still not allowed by the appellation...). They look for more ripeness in the rosé than in the red, from vines in the middle of the forest, a vineyard they planted in 2002. It's very pale, almost a blanc de noirs, on very steep slopes and facing north, toward the Montsant Mountains. The juice from the direct pressing fermented in large and neutral oak barrels, where it aged until bottling. It's a powerful rosé, characterful, clearly transcending the color and category, a wine for the table. It keeps the poise in a very challenging year.

Description
The history of Partida Pedrer Rosat was born on the steep slopes of Bellvisos, Gratallops, in the heart of Priorat. Sara Pérez and René Barbier Jr., after years of making red wines in these harsh lands of llicorella and quartz, decided to challenge tradition: to create a rosé that spoke from the heart of the Priorat, but without following known formulas. They wanted something deeper, with the soul of a red and the tension of a white. They used Garnacha Negra ( 70%) and Monastrell (30%), the latter not authorised in the D.O.Q., which adds character and irreverence. The Monastrell balances the alcoholic power of the Garnatxa, providing freshness, structure and an almost tactile texture. The grapes are grown organically, with manual harvesting and minimal intervention, reflecting an authentic link with the land and the environment.
Winemaking
Partida Pedrer Rosat enters the cellar gently, by direct pressing, without long maceration. It ferments spontaneously with indigenous yeasts, respecting the lively character of the grapes. The wine is then aged for a long period of time, which is unusual for rosés: between 9 and 12 months in used barrels and amphorae, without the addition of sulphites, in search of purity, longevity and depth. The result is a natural, expressive and structured wine, closer to an old claret than a conventional rosé.
Taste
Onion skin colour with coppery reflections. On the nose, Partida Pedrer Rosat displays wild strawberries, dried flowers, orange peel and a clear mineral note, like wet stone. On swirling, dried herbs and a delicate spicy trace emerge. The palate is dry, firm and long on the palate. It has nerve, fine tannin, and an integrated acidity that sustains it. Discreet red fruit, saline background and a finish with echoes of grapefruit, bitter almond and stone. It does not seek to be easy or festive: it is a rosé to think about, to accompany food and for those who seek emotion in subtlety. A rosé that goes against the tide, but with a firm step.
