Great all around #rose. This #wine is simple, focused and refreshing. Delicate salmon pink, but medium bodied, round. Citrusy nectarine, strawberry.

Yup that's poor Flick with his tongue stuck to the flag pole in a Christmas Story. Perhaps, the best Christmas movie 🎥 🌲 🎅. Another family tradition since it came out. As for the Muga rose, beautiful strawberries, cherries, watermelon, touch of tangerine, nice grainy chalkiness, good presence minerals but not overdone, really nice acidity and round, fresh, ripe, full, polished finish. Don't pull a Flick, it'll ruin your wine palate.

If you haven't had Tempranillo rose, I suggest you do. It is so beautifully fresh with a slight rustic quality. The fruits a ripe, juicy; watermelon, strawberries, peach & rhubarb. High acidity, perfect chalkiness and minerals. The minerality is harmony with the brine in the turkey. Happy Thanksgiving 🍁 🦃 everyone. Haro (the area this made) is a great place to center yourself for touring Rioja!

@Delectable Wine, what's the difference between rosé & rosado? Viura in this case...2015. $9.79, 1:30am, strawberry cream, watermelon, acid, kinda hot, might be a little reductive. 6 bottles every vintage, 2014 didn't have the heat

Terribly in love with this rose. Watermelon on the nose, excellent crisp finish. Bravo Spain.
