Tasting-Korbel Sweet Rose


Korbel Sweet Rose Champagne

Variety: Pinot Noir, Zinfandel
Region: California
Country: United States
Year: Non-Vintage
Price: $11.99

Tasting Notes: "Korbel Sweet Rosé is made from a complex selection of both red and white grape varieties. The blend is designed to have very bright fruit flavors and aromas. The harvesting of the red varieties such as zinfandel and sangiovese early in the ripening process helps achieve the desired style for this cuvée. Excellent with Fresh fruit or appetizers such as grilled prawns and mango salsa, or with a selection of ripe cheeses." (Korbel.com)

My review: I loved this champagne. It was very light, smooth and crisp in the mouth. It also had a very pleasant finish to it, which had a hint of sweetness. But the overall champagne was not too sweet, even though it's called sweet rose; it had more of the consistency of a hard cider. Highly recommended!

I tasted this on its own with no food.
