Tasting - Veleta Brut Vino Espumoso Rosado


Name: Veleta Brut Vino Espumoso Rosado
Variety: Tempranillo
Region: Granada
Country: Spain
Year: non-vintage
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).
  
Personal Review: The nose of the Veleta Brut Vino Espumoso Rosado had an extremely unappealing nose to me. Strangely, the scent reminded me of a skunk. The taste of it was a little bit better. It had a citrusy palate and was somewhat bitter. While it had a sparkle to it, I would have enjoyed a bit more carbonation to it. Overall, this was not one of my favorite wines and is not one that I would recommend to others.
