Tapena Spanish Wine

Tapena Rose Spanish red wineTapena Rose wine from Tierra de Castilla, Spain

This luscious combination of the most widely planted grape in Spain, a seductive Garnacha, and a juicy Monastrell, also known as Mourvedre in France, with a hint of Shiraz for more body, creates a perfect Spanish Rosé that should be enjoyed while young, crisp and refreshing.

Tasting Notes
This is a refreshingly delightful Rosé wine has bright strawberry aromas with fresh cherry and strawberry flavors with traces of citrus. The palate is beautifully balanced with a crisp refreshing acidity, a soft round finish of red fruits and a hint of minerality.

"Neutral, minerally, salinic and refreshing on the nose, which is exactly what this critic wants from a $10 rosado. The palate is juicy and clean, with acid-driven flavors of pink grapefruit, tangerine and nectarine. Finishes in straight-ahead fashion, with snap and cleansing acids."
