Navarra has a long-lasting tradition and prestige for its rosé wines, mainly made with Garnacha grapes. And Julián Chivite is one of the biggest and more solid producers of that area, located between Rioja and the French border. This Gran Feudo Rosado 2011 is a good example of the rosés from Navarra: medium to deep pink colour and intense aromas and flavours. It matches perfectly with poultry and rice dishes, and can be an excellent option for spicy Asian food.
