Veleta Brut Vino Espumoso Rosado
NV$3.95
Grenada, Spain
Tempranillo and Grenacha
The Vintage Cellar says: 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 thoughts: As soon as I was told what this wine was (a sparkling rosé) I foresaw a stalemate. I love bubbly wines, but I absolutely hate rosés. I was excited to find out which would win out over the other. Turns out I hated it, but it was a good experiment for me. The wine smelled perfume-y, which is how I always describe rosés. The bubbles were actually too much for me, and before this I didn't think that was possible. It was like I could chew through them the texture was so strong (I may have been watching too much Gary V with that description). It made my tongue tingle afterwards. I tasted cherry flavors and something else... possibly the citrus or herb flavors coming through. I didn't have this with food, but I think, if paired right, this would be a good wine to eat with. I can't think of something though, because I'm not a fan.
