Sasikume 2025

DOCa Rioja, Spain

Trousseau (100%) · 2025 · 12% abv

Bright and lifted, with tart cherry, wild raspberry and a dusting of cinnamon. Fresh herbs and flinty minerality run through the finish, keeping the palate lively and precise. Vibrant and energetic — a lighter, more playful face of Rioja.

Production

Whole clusters gently crushed and fermented with native yeasts in concrete. After a brief malolactic fermentation and a month on fine lees, the wine is bottled unfined and unstabilised.

Vinyard

From a 0.5 ha experimental plot planted in 2018 with Trousseau (Bastardo) in Elvillar, Rioja Alavesa. The vineyard follows natural contours for optimal water retention and erosion control, and is farmed biodynamically with plough horses.

Pairing

Serve slightly chilled with charcuterie, grilled chicken skewers or roasted beet salad. A brilliant companion to pinchos and lighter tapas.
