Benegas Estirpe Carmela Benegas Rosé 2008

Carmela Benegas was born from the first “blood” of our guard wines. This means the grapes start bleeding at the moment they arrive from the winery and the first natural juice is extracted as soon as the grapes enter the storage tanks.
This first blood has all the virtues of the varieties that compose it, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
