Cava

Vallformosa Classic Brut Rose NV

I  seem to have gone a bit crazy for pink wines this month, here is a couple of pink cavas.  This first one is from Vallformosa. I really like the MVSA, but the Rose isn't quite up at that level.  There is nothing wrong with it, it just that nothing really stood out.  Perhaps it needed food or I was having an off day?  It is however nice and crisp, with a bit of flavour, a good bet for the backyard BBQ on a hot summer's day.

A nice petrol colour in the glass with a fine bead.  Subtle aromas of strawberry with a bit toast.  Truckloads of bubbles in the mouth, crisp, dry and refreshing.  On the palate there's more strawberry, a slight herb note and bit of sherbet on the finish.   85 Pts.
