On Wednesday it was time for the last wine testing before the summer. With summer around corner the theme was rosé wines. I have never really liked rosé wines. They are just something in between and it feels like drinking raspberry syrup with a hint of alcohol. Just blend and boring, but it does remember me of hot summers night in Paris.
The Italian sparkling wine was the surprise of the evening, but my favourite turned out to be the New Zeeland rosé, which was the only wine from the New World.
Gran Feudo Rosado - Spain
Light raspberry colour. Notes of berries and fruit. Dry taste with some hints of cherry pips and strawberries.
Valle Reale Vigne Nuove Cerasuolo 2006 - Italy
Pink salmon colour. Notes of cherries and raspberries. Dry taste of cherries and herbs.
Château d'Aquéria Rosé 2006 - France
Light pink colour with a tinge of blue. Notes of red currant and herbs. Dry flavourful taste of herbs, raspberries and red currant..
Stoneleigh Pinot Noir Rosé 2006 – New Zeeland
Bright raspberry colour. Notes of raspberries, grass and some red plums. Dry fruity taste of mature strawberries, raspberries and grass. My favourite wine of the evening.
Rotari Rosé 2002 – Italy
