Tasting - Veleta Tempranillo Rosado



Name: Veleta Tempranillo Rosado
Variety: Tempranillo
Region: Granada
Country: Spain
Year: 2010
Price: $3.95

Winery review: Fresh in flavor and crisp in texture, this dry rosé offers berry, tart cherry and light herbal flavors, with firm acidity and a clean finish. Focused and juicy.

My Review: The nose was fresh and fruity. I could smell some berries and cherries. As I tasted it, I was surprised at how acidic it was. The tannins overpowered what I smelled before tasting it. The finish was not light, it felt like burn after you take a shot of vodka. Because of the high tannins, I really wished I had tried it with cheese and crackers or a kind of pasta so it could soften the acids. 

I did not have it with any food.
