Winery Review:
The cherry color reveals a slightly fizzy wine that is a very fruitful rose made from the traditional vinho verde white grapes. Adding a splash of red to offer flavors with notes of strawberry, cherry, and berries. A delightful twist on the original.
My Review:
The smell of this wine had a hint of smelly feet, but mainly I smelled less sweet peaches - almost like peaches that were not fully ripe yet. This pretty peach colored wine had no heat on the nose which was a nice change from the Chardonnay. When tasted, you could taste rose petals and the aftertaste was like sour cream and onion yogurt dip. The aftertaste seemed to over power the other tones on the beginning of the taste. There were no real strong flavors overall, but a little bit of grapefruit and citrus in the taste. This was tasted without food.
