Description

Ozu Rosé | DO Navarra, Spain

Ozu Rosado Merlot is a vibrant and expressive rosé crafted by Bodega Otazu in Navarra, offering a refined interpretation of Merlot through freshness, elegance and Mediterranean balance. Produced from carefully selected estate-grown vineyards surrounding the historic Otazu property, the wine captures both the richness of the region and the freshness created by Navarra’s cooler climatic influences.

The vineyards are situated near the Sierra del Perdón where Atlantic and continental influences combine with Mediterranean sunshine, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly while preserving acidity and aromatic precision. This balance gives the wine its elegant texture and lively freshness.

Gentle pressing and temperature-controlled fermentation preserve the purity of the fruit and delicate aromatics, creating a rosé that feels polished and gastronomic rather than overly sweet or simplistic.

On the nose, Ozu Rosado Merlot opens with aromas of wild strawberries, ripe raspberries and redcurrants layered with subtle floral tones, watermelon and hints of citrus zest. The palate is smooth, crisp and refreshing with vibrant acidity, delicate berry fruit and a long clean finish.

This is a beautifully modern Spanish rosé designed for Mediterranean dining, relaxed afternoons and effortless drinking.
