critic/Winery Review: This fine sparkling presents and intense aroma of fresh
berries and tropical fruits with hints of white flavor petals. Delicate bubbles
caress the palate offering a silky and pleasant sweetness well balanced by a
crisp, refreshing finish. Ideal on it own, as an aperitif or with all types of
sweets and desserts
My Review: Since I am a huge fan of Tempranillo, I was quite excited for this wine. It is only about 2% Tempranillo but I was hoping that it would give it a different flavor and not just the different color. So on the smell, the first thing I picked out was soap. While this is the first thing that came to mind, I am assuming that I was smelling the floral accents in it and just associating it with soap. That was definitely a new smell for me. Then I tasted it, and I really did not like it at all. The floral smell came through in the taste and I just couldn't get into it. It wasn't overly sweet and the Tempranillo added some different flavors but it didn't do it for me. I think if I had it has a dessert wine or aperitif then maybe it would grow on me but overall I was not impressed.
