The Vivanco brothers were surprised by the freshness of the 2021s, and the 2021 Rosado, produced with Tempranillo, Garnacha Tinta and Blanca, is super fresh and has notes of rose petals. It's elegant, clean and subtle. They used more Garnacha this time (20%), and it shows more intensity of fruit, with volume and freshness. 62,000 bottles produced. It was bottled unoaked after resting in tank with lees.

The 2019 Rosado mentions the grapes used on the label: 75% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacha Tinta and 5% Garnacha Blanca. It's a very pale and delicate, floral rosé with a good combination of fruit and freshness, subtle aromas of rose petals and a dry and tasty palate—quite a textbook rosé from bleeding with moderate maceration. It was bottled after some time in tank with lees. 54,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2020.

I hadn't tasted the rosé for a while, so I sampled the 2017 Rosado, which was produced with a blend of Tempranillo (75%), Garnacha Tinta (20%) and Garnacha Blanca (5%). It's cleaner and more expressive than many a rosé, with a tasty palate, similar in a way to the white. 45,000 bottles produced.

The 2010 Rosado is a blend of 85% Tempranillo and 15% Garnacha raised in stainless steel. It exhibits an inviting perfume of cherry blossom, strawberry, and raspberry leading to a flavorful, round, savory Rose that will provide enjoyment over the next 12-18 months. Bodega Dinastia Vivanco is a must visit for wine tourists. The winery is designed to be accessible to visitors but the principal attraction is the finest wine museum I have ever seen. Called Museo de la Cultura del Vino, it is beautifully designed and filled to the brim with artifacts from all aspects of wine from farming to drinking. As for the wines, Dinastia Vivanco has been flying under the radar screen but with a new importer on board, it is highly likely that their wine will receive greater exposure.

The 2009 Rosado is a blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha with aromas of cherry blossom, strawberry, and rhubarb. Crisp, dry, and savory on the palate, it has lively acidity, good balance, and a refreshing finish. Bodega Dinastia Vivanco is a must visit for wine tourists.

As for the wines, Dinastia Vivanco has been flying under the radar screen. Their previous American importer did little to promote the wines; I had never heard of the Bodega before this visit. However, they now have a national importer who figures to do a much better job. Dinastia Vivanco’s entry level wines offer good value. Importer: Opici Wines , www.opiciwines.com
