Overall impression

Yzaguirre Rosé is the most modern, fruit-forward bet of the Tarragona bodega, designed for a light, cosmopolitan aperitif — after-work, terrace, summery mixology — against the solemnity of Rojo Reserva or the depth of Herbal Vintage. Made in El Morell with the same selected wine base and botanical extract from the Yzaguirre method, but without barrel ageing and with a semisweet profile that prioritises accessibility and eye-catching colour over ageing complexity.

Nose and palate

Raspberry red with violet flashes, visually distinct from the mahogany of the classics. Soft aroma with citrus and spice that does not compete in intensity with bar red, but proves seductive and direct. On the palate it is sweet, easy and of good length: moreish without being cloying, with a balance that invites drinking very cold in informal settings rather than in comparative tastings of historic vermouth.

How to serve it

Very cold, with ice and grapefruit or lemon; ideal in rosé spritz, summer mixed drinks or as a fruitier alternative to classic Yzaguirre red at gatherings where the audience seeks a sweeter, more colourful profile.

Production context

No oak ageing; rest in steel like the classic range. 15% vol., 1-litre format in main catalogue. The bodega positions it as a contemporary option within a portfolio spanning from 1884 classics to Herbal Vintage in solera.
