From: Utiel-Requena, Valencia, Spain
Varietal: Trepat, Garnacha
Taste: In the glass, the wine presents a pale pink hue with coral reflections and a steady stream of fine bubbles. The nose opens with notes of wild strawberries, fresh raspberries, and blood orange, accented by hints of rose petals and a faint brioche note from the lees aging.
Pairing: Cava rosé’s bright acidity and dry, red-fruited profile make it a versatile partner for a range of dishes that rely on freshness, briny components, and textural contrast. Start with general pairing principles: pair with salty, fried, or umami-rich foods; balance acidity with fresh herbs or citrus; and lean into seafood or lightly spiced fare.
About: Torre Oria is a cava producer in the Utiel-Requena region of southeast Valencia, Spain. Founded in 1897 by the Oria de Rueda family, the winery’s origins are closely linked to the region’s historic silk industry, which initially provided the capital and infrastructure for their venture into winemaking.
