A good find!
A very decent Rose Cava! I was pleasantly surprised by this when my wife brought one home. A gentle nose - hints at being aged for longer than you'd expect, - this is backed up by the colour, which is gently mellowing towards orange from pink. In the mouth it has soft acidity, and hints of strawberry, raspberry and a little toffee apple. Not too much sugar, but less acidic than most of my memories of Cava, this beats any pink 'prosecco' into a cocked hat. (bearing in mind I don't know how 'old' this particular bottle is - it might have been nicely maturing on the shelf for all I know and younger bottles might not live up to this one.) Not over-keen on the packaging, - it's a better product than the glitzy suggests. If you like Laurent Perrier Rose champagne you could kid yourself and save a bundle on this!! oh, and I've been in the wine trade for 38 years.....well done Tesco.
