Scoring 17 points on the 20-point Dionysian scale, the 2015 Cune Rioja Rosado has 13.5% alcohol (a bit high for Rose’: 13% is ideal or even lower)) and cost around $12. It pairs well with spring and summer dishes.
Made from hand-picked Tempranillo grapes,. The color comes from natural skin contact to add to the fruit flavors; no red wine has to be added.
Bing Cherry, ripe strawberry and light herb aromas show the most. The wine is light-medium in weight and has a long refreshing aftertaste. Cune has been making wine since 1879 and does it right.
Served with pasta, tomato, and shrimp; a classic Spanish dish.
More Rose’ was drunk last year than every before. People have learned that it is dry,( not like white Zinfandel) clean and light, ideal for warm weather dishes. More Rose’ will be consumed this year than last year. Don’t miss out. In vino veritas.
