Week 11 Wine Tasting #2: Castico Original Rose Portugal
Variety: Rose
Region: Portugal
Country: Portugal
Year: NV
Price: $5
Winery Review: "A blend of 40% Baga, 30% Tourgia Nacional, and 30% Merlot, this wine boasts a pink salmon color and intense fresh red fruit aromas of strawberry and raspberry. The palate is fresh and fruity with a slight effervescence that brings out crispness and elegance."
Wine Folly: In page 134 of Wine Folly, it states that Rose is surprisingly light and has flavors of strawberry.
Personal Review: This was my favorite wine of the tasting at the Vintage Wine Cellar. It had a nice flavor and the right amount of fruity/sweetness. I could definitely taste the strawberry notes and a touch of the raspberry. I enjoyed this tasting so much that I ended up buying a bottle of it. $5 for some good tasting wine? Can't beat that!
