Ontanon Clarete Rose 2025

Bodegas Ontañón produces this Clarete Rosé in Rioja — an officially classified style of Rosado that is well-known within the region but rarely found outside it. Clarete is a traditional Rioja style made from a blend of red and white grapes vinified together, producing a wine that sits between a light red and a rosé in character. Made from Viura and Tempranillo, it is a wine with genuine regional identity and a refreshing, food-friendly personality.

About This Wine

A rare and characterful Rioja Clarete — pale pink, aromatic, and delicately fruity. This is a wine with real regional identity, made in a style that has been produced in Rioja for centuries but is almost never seen outside the appellation. Fresh, dry, and endlessly food-friendly.

Tasting Notes

Colour: Lovely pale pink
Nose: Lifted red berry aromas — rose-hip, strawberry, and a hint of citrus freshness
Palate: Fresh and bright with red berry fruit, balancing citrus acidity, and a clean, dry structure
Finish: Elegant and dry with a refreshing close

Food Pairing

A great rosé to enjoy as an aperitif with friends, or alongside assorted tapas, cheese, and salads. The dry finish and fresh acidity make it a versatile food wine.
