Malvasía Rosada

Malvasía Rosada is a rare red grape variety that originated as a color mutation of Malvasía di Lipari (also known as Malvasía de Sitges). It is primarily grown in Spain’s Canary Islands, where it thrives in the region’s unique volcanic terroir. This mutation retains the aromatic characteristics of its Malvasía lineage while offering a distinctive pinkish hue that sets it apart from other Malvasía varieties.

Malvasía Rosada wines display a delicate pink to light ruby color, often with bright reflections. The wines are aromatic, featuring floral and fruity notes with hints of tropical fruits, citrus, and subtle spice. On the palate, they tend to be fresh, slightly sweet, and well-balanced, with moderate acidity and a pleasant, lingering finish.

Malvasía Rosada is grown in the Canary Islands, where the volcanic soils and warm, dry climate contribute to its vibrant aromatics and minerality. The variety benefits from the island’s unique vineyard management techniques, including planting vines in deep hollows to protect them from strong trade winds and intense sun exposure.

Malvasía Rosada is a genetic mutation of Malvasía di Lipari, a historic Mediterranean variety known for producing aromatic wines.

Its unique color makes it a rare find in the world of Malvasía wines.
