Tasting - Veleta Brut Vino Espumoso Rosado

Name: Veleta Brut Vino Espumoso Rosado
Variety: Tempranillo and Grenache
Region: Granada
Country: Spain
Year: NV
Price: $3.95

The Vintage Cellar's Review: "Rose 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 Review: This wine was very complex on the nose, as indicated by the VC's review. The main aroma I could put my finger on was peach. As a general description, I would say that it was light, but persistent, and floral. While it seemed like it should have been light and sweet on the palate based on its bouquet, it was definitely Brut. It was bitter from start to finish, and didn't have specific fruity or floral flavors that I could identify.

This wine was tasted without food.
