Parcelica “La Rosita” Rosado 2025
Yecla DO, Murcia, Spain 🇪🇸

Overview
A vibrant Spanish rosé built from 70% Monastrell and 30% Syrah, a combination that gives this wine considerably more character and structure than its pale color suggests. Monastrell provides concentrated fruit and substance, while Syrah adds aromatic lift and freshness.

Aromas & Flavors
Rose petals, fresh strawberries, red berries, and subtle citrus notes lead the profile. The strawberry character is particularly concentrated and expressive without pushing the wine toward sweetness.

Mouthfeel
Crisp, very dry, and beautifully balanced, with refreshing acidity and enough structure to carry the fruit across the palate. Clean and energetic, with a surprisingly solid and satisfying finish.

Food Pairings
Grilled fish, shrimp, paella, salads, charcuterie, grilled chicken, Mediterranean vegetables, or simply served well chilled as an aperitif. Extremely flexible at the table.

Verdict
A tasteful and remarkably versatile rosé. Fresh enough for casual sipping yet structured enough for food, with the Monastrell-Syrah blend giving it more personality and substance than many straightforward rosés.

Did You Know?
Yecla is particularly associated with Monastrell, a grape well adapted to southeastern Spain’s hot, dry conditions. In rosé, its naturally concentrated fruit can provide surprising structure while maintaining freshness when harvested and handled specifically for this style.

🍷 Personal Pick
This one immediately won me over with its rose-petal aromatics, concentrated strawberry, bone-dry profile, and incredible crispness. Refreshing without feeling thin and structured without becoming heavy, a very easy rosé to pour casually or bring straight to the table. — 5 days ago

Just when I thought I understood Sherry along comes this bursting with mint and various other herbs and prunes and figs and golden raisins. A reminder of why wine is so important to humanity. — 9 years ago
