- Scoop - 07-30-2002 On the European front, Woodman, if you can find Chateau Routas' rose ("Rouviere"), give it a whirl: it's got complexity and herbal nuance to go along with a core of refreshing fruit. Quite impressive. Another Spanish treasure: Bodegas Muga's Rosado (Rioja). Sancerre certainly is a major source of pleasure -- red, white and pink -- WOW, but you might want to try some other Loire rose offerings, like, for example, a Cabernet d'Anjou, a rose made up of Cabernets Franc and Sauvignon (which are generally off-dry). Finally, Macari, from out on Long Island, has a refreshing, tangy, almost dry pink made from mostly Cabernet Franc and a smidgen of Pinot Noir, -- somewhere between the Loire and California stylistically. Cheers, Scoop - wondersofwine - 07-30-2002 Thanks for the tips. - zenda2 - 08-04-2002 As Scoop mentioned just a few posts above, Another nice inexpensive Spanish Rosado is one from Bodegas Muga. Light pink color, made from mostly Garnacha (Grenache) with Temperanillo and Viura in the blend. A nice nose of strawberry and earth, with tastes of strawberry, cherry, other red fruits. More acidity than an all-garnacha rosada or my old reliable Vin Gris de Cigare. Medium-Long finish. Went very well with yesterdays grilled brats and ripe red banana peppers and saute'ed spinach & garlic. I've seen it listed around town for $6-$8. Very nice at twice the price. |
