Winery Review: 85– Wine Enthusiast Best Buy: In color, this is almost white. There is some attractive acidity and the soft wine will slip down easily with just a touch of red currant. The result is a lightly mineral wine that is refreshing and good for an apéritif.

My Review: A very white rose that was tough for me to pick up much in the nose besides some citrus zest.  On the palette it was dry and the salty-acid feeling I get with Spanish whites came through--I have since learned a common name for this is minerality.  The slightest tint of tannins comes with the light body.  It finishes with some sort of white floral notes and a slight sweetness.  The bottle and label make you feel fancy drinking it.

Tasted without food.
