Tasting- Veleta Brut Vino Espumoso Rosado


Name: Veleta Brut Vino Espumoso Rosado
Variety: Sparkling Brut Blend
Region: Grenada                                    
Country: Spain
Year: NV
Price: $3.95
Shop 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.” (Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg VA)

My review: The wine had a brownish color, and the smell of celery and sweet apricot.  When I was smelling this wine, I envisioned the color green.  The taste was very much like perfume, with floral and slight wood hints.

I drank this without food.
