This elevated Saison pours with a delicate rosé tint, showcasing a sophisticated fusion of rustic farmhouse character and elegant Mediterranean ingredients. At 7.8% ABV, it presents a bold sensory profile where the spicy, peppery phenols of the Belgian yeast dance with the floral aromatic lift of real rose petals. The addition of Samsó grape must from the Penedès region introduces a vinous complexity, offering a nuanced interplay between subtle fruit sweetness and a bright, refreshing acidity. Effervescent and highly attenuated, it maintains the classic dry finish of the style while layering in sophisticated notes of red berries and floral perfume.
Appearance.Pours a hazy, pale copper to light salmon-pink (8-10 SRM) depending on light. Topped with a dense, rocky, ivory-colored head that shows excellent retention and leaves intricate Belgian lace.
Aroma.High aromatic intensity. A complex bouquet of fruity esters resembling pear and apricot alongside spicy black pepper phenols. The floral scent of rose petals is distinct but integrated, complemented by the vinous, slightly tart character of red grape must.
Taste.Initial impression is a harmonious blend of spicy yeast and floral rose. Moderate grainy malt provides a soft backdrop for the Samsó grape flavors, which contribute both a hint of jammy fruit and a crisp, wine-like acidity. Bitterness is moderate and clean, leading into a very dry, effervescent finish with a lingering peppery aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with high, effervescent carbonation that provides a prickly, refreshing sensation. A noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, consistent with its higher gravity, though it remains highly digestible without astringency.
