D.O. Valdepeñas / Viña Albali

Viña Albali Rosé

This wine was inspired by the clear starry night skies in La Mancha. Félix Solís wanted to create a wine that would capture the pleasure-loving, life-affirming spirit of Spanish people. He named it Albali after the brightest star in Aquarius. This rosé wine is as delicate and fresh as a white, but with the structure of a good red.
