Vino de la Tierra de Ibiza IGP Rosat D’Àmfora 2024 Can Rich

What kind of wine is it?

Rosat d’Àmfora from Can Rich is an organic rosé made from Monastrell grapes. It stands out for its fresh, mineral, and balanced style, with a well-defined but not heavy structure. Vinification and ageing in terracotta amphorae enhance the aromatic purity and provide a savoury finish, preserving the grape variety’s identity and offering a taut, clean profile.

Where does it come from?

The grapes are grown on the Buscastell estate in Ibiza, in a Mediterranean climate with hot summers and maritime influence. The calcareous, well-draining soils favour steady ripening and support a mineral and fresh character. The island environment, with strong winds and intense light, gives a smooth drinkability and a distinctive profile linked to the island’s viticulture.

How is it produced?

The Monastrell harvest aims to balance ripeness and freshness. The grapes remain in contact with the skins for a short period, suitable for a rosé, and fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures to preserve the primary aromas. Maturation for around six months in terracotta amphorae allows gentle micro-oxygenation, highlighting the purity of the fruit and the mineral component, with no use of wood barrels.

Tasting notes

Visually, it has a bright rosé colour with reflections reminiscent of red apple skin. The bouquet is wide, with notes of purple and red flowers, red currant, red apple and candied fruit, complemented by a mineral streak. The palate is fresh and straightforward, with pronounced salinity supporting the progression. The finish remains balanced, savoury and slightly earthy, with a dry and precise persistence.

Best pairings

This rosé pairs well with smoked fish, herb risottos, and grilled vegetable mains. The freshness and saline note cleanse the fattiness of the dishes, while the savoury finish enhances local recipes like bullit de peix. It also goes well with arroz a banda, where acidity and minerality balance spices and a distinctly marine character.

When to serve it

Rosat d’Àmfora shows its best in spring and summer, as a table wine for those seeking freshness and precision combined with good structure. Serve at 10–12 °C in a medium-sized glass to highlight floral, fruity, and mineral notes. Ageing in amphora allows brief evolution, but the wine displays aromatic energy and salinity within a few years of the harvest, ideal as an aperitif or throughout a Mediterranean meal.
