Tasting- Veleta Brut Vino Espumoso Rosado

Name: Veleta Brut Vino Espumoso Rosado
Variety: Tempranillo, Grenache
Region: D.O.P. Granada -Alpujarra
Country: Spain
Year: NV
Price: $3.95

Winery 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 review: This wine started with a fresh flower, almost smoky nose.  Then tasting it I got a sour, dry, earthy, and slightly bubbly flavor.  Wasn't really a huge fan of it because there wasn't a lot going for it. 

This wine was tasted on its own with no food.
