Veleta Brut Vino Espumoso Rosado
Variety: Tempranillo and Garnache
Region: Granada
Country: Spain
Year: Non-Vintage
Price: $3.95
Tasting Notes: "Rose salmon with copper reflections. Slow rising fine bubble that forms "lace" and "rosary". In the nose is complex and elegant with red fruit, citric, fresh flowers, and notes of dry fruits and dry flowers. Fresh, gentle, and alive. Perfectly integrated "perlage" with serious and subtle flavors of dry fruits, pomegranate and lemonade. Long lasting scent of flowers and herbs."
My review: I didn't ever understand what Boyer was talking about when he said some wines can smell like urine, until I smelled this wine. It smelled overpoweringly like stale urine in a glass. Because of that the taste surprised me. It had a slight acidity/sparkling qualities. It was crisp and refreshing. There was also a hint of melon in the taste.
I tasted this on its own and with no food.
