VC Review: Rosé salmon with copper reflections. Slow rising fine bubble that forms “lace” and “rosary”. In the nose is complex and elegant with red fruit, citric, exotic, fresh flowers, and notes of dry fruits and dry flowers. Fresh, gentle, and alive. Perfectly integrated “perlage” with serious and subtle flavors of dry fruits, pomegranate and lemonade. Long lasting scent of flowers and herbs.
My notes: This "rosado" had nice bubbles and a beautiful coral color. The nose offers dried peach and flower petals, but its potency made me actually cough. The guy tasting next to me laughed because he could smell something almost chemical as well. The taste is slightly sweet and floral, which is to be expected from a rose sparkler, but then again there was also something a little vegetal about the wine. Overall, something was a little off, but it keeps things interesting.
Food: n/a
