Doolittle Oxy Rose 2024 is a oxidative rosé wine crafted by Vinyes Tortuga, in the Catalonia region in Spain, using Barbera! The wine sees time in slightly newer barrels and is not topped up, so develops a Flor (thin layer or veil of yeast) on the top of the wine, which protects it against too much oxygen but also allows some to affect the wine in this positive method, giving a very different characteristic.

Production details of Doolittle Oxy Rose: Doolittle Oxy Rose is made by Dido and Jurriaan Morsink at Vinyes Tortuga, a Dutch couple who settled in Alt-Empordà, Catalonia and bought 9.5 hectares of vineyards, releasing their first own-grape vintage in 2018. The wine is made from Barbera, aged in slightly newer barrels that are not topped up, so a flor develops on the surface and shapes the oxidative character. Wine names come from album titles and songs.

Tasting Notes: We have not yet tried this vintage of Doolittle Oxy Rose by Vinyes Tortuga, but we hear it has notes of bruised apple, dried citrus peel, almond and a savoury oxidative edge.

We ship every Wednesday. Order by Tuesday 10am.

Vinyes Tortuga

Vinyes Tortuga is Dido & Jurriaan Morsink, a couple from Amsterdam who have made wine literally all over the world - including working as cellar hands for well-known natural winemakers including Escoda Sanahuja and Tom Shobbrook. Eventually they settled down in Catalonia, Spain and purchased 9.5 hectares of vineyards in Alt-Empordà, making their first vintage with their own grapes in 2018.

Dido and Juriaan of farm the vineyards holistically and chemical free, and live amongst the vines, ‘completely off the grid’ using solar panels and water from the well.In 2020 the couple expanded their operations and bought an old cooperative building from the 1960s in the medieval town of Rabós. The building, which houses 30 old cement tanks, will also become home to a restaurant, natural wine bar, and eventually also a place to stay, making it a destination.
