Tasting - Opera Prima Pink Moscato

Opera Prima Pink Moscato
La Mancha, Spain
Regular Price: $10 
Sale Price: $6.95

Vintage Cellar Tasting Notes: "A blend of Muscat 97% and Tempranillo 3%. This fine sparkling presents an intense aroma of fresh berries and tropical fruits with hints of white flower petals. Delicate bubbles caress the palate offering a silky and pleasant sweetness well balanced by a crisp, refreshing finish. Ideal on its own, as an aperitif or with all types of sweets and desserts. Serve it very cold, between 7 and 9°."

At the tasting, this wine definitely was not as cold as it is suggested to be consumed. Perhaps this would have made a difference, but I was neither impressed or displeased with this wine. My first pink moscato, I picked up on the strawberry and tropical fruit flavors along with a crisp and clean finish. Not as sweet as most, I would consider buying this wine for as a dessert wine for friends whom I know enjoy the lighter and sparkling wines.
