Winery review: 
"Bright clean strawberry rose color. In the nose it is intense and fresh, with strawberry aromas and slight citric hints. In the mouth it is fresh, strong and tasty, emphasizing a delightful tingle due to its carbonic residuals." - Timelesswines.com






My Review:  
I did not find this wine to be very complex, but did enjoy its freshness. The nose was pungent strawberry, as mentioned in the review above.  The taste consisted mainly of strawberries with hints of a citrus fruit that I couldn't quiet pick out. Due to the carbonation of the wine, I felt it tasted more like a sparkling juice and not so much a wine. Overall I felt it was refreshing and very tasty and would serve this on a warm day. 

I did not pair this wine with food.
