Tasting - Reginato Rose of Malbec Sparkling


Name - Reginato Rose of Malbec Sparkling
Variety: 100% Malbec
Region: La Consulta (San Carlos)
Country: Argentina
Year: NV
Price: $15.95
Shop Review: Malbec seems an unlikely hero for a sparkling wine grape, but when you want your rose to show some real color and character, then Malbec's your man. Crisp and dry with lovely strawberry, rhubarb flavors and aromas. Just a hint of tannin structure, floral spice, and an amazing elegant finish rounds out the mouth. It speaks of the rich Malbec grape, but never loses its light, refreshing nature. I will give you a good reason to drink sparkling wine with your main course!
My review: Upon smelling it immediately reminded me of strawberry jelly! It had slight hints of what I thought was grape, but I had never tried a rhubarb before so I assume that's what that smell was. Upon tasting it was the perfect amount of bubbles and I loved it! It had a nice sweet strawberry taste but a good dry finish that didn't leave my mouth with that sticky finish. It's color reminded me a lot of Boone's wine but it was SO much better. I tried this wine on its own without food.
