Honoro Vera Rosado 2017
Rioja, SpainThis Jumilla rosado delivers as expected, with punchy, juicy, fruity and spicy watermelon, raspberry and cherry fruits, ample spice and a deeper, shining hue. This is tempranillo based, with a dose of syrah (for spice) and a bump of sugar (for commercial appeal). Thankfully, alcohol is moderate, as is acidity, holding this welcoming for an ice bucket and spicy prawns, or red-pepper grilled pasta/veg.Tasted: 25 May 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $17.49 | 750ml | private wine shops |
