2024 Arteso Rosado

 I love Rioja Rosado. It feels a bit more powerful than French Rosé wines, but has its own charm.

This one has complex taste of multiple fruits with citrus and spices.

2023 Mezquiriz

 

Didn't have much hope for this wine. Bought at Lidl in Salamanca because there wasn't much choice of Rosé wines.

It's good. For €0.99 it's great! Citrus and spice.

Went well with baked cod.

2020 El Coto Rioja

 Didn't have it for many years. Loved it when it was available in USA. Now found it during our visit to Salamanca, Spain.

It's still great. Strong note of sour cherry, good balance, good response to aerator. Complex taste.

Was great with fried liver.

2022 Dona Julieta

 Huge disappointment. As much as I liked 2021, this one is a failure. Seems it contains the same flavors, but balance is not there. Too sweet, a bit harsh, wine is not good.

Monte da Ferra

 Nice Rosé. Fruits, citrus, a bit spicy. There is some sugar, OK for Rosé, but I wouldn't buy red of the same name.

Was good with Chilean sea bass.

2021 Dona Julieta

 One of the best Portuguese wines I tried. Complex taste with multiple fruits, great aftertaste, almost no sugar.

Was great with mushroom and ham pizza.

2023 Guarda Rios

 Decent Rosé. A bit of play on a tongue. Fruits and citrus in the nose and taste. But there are better Rosé wines in Portugal.

Was good with white fish.

Prosecco Donelli

 Nice Italian bubbly. Was especially good with crab cake.

2021 Porta d'Armas

 It was high-risk purchase. The only reason I bought it, 90 points from Wine Enthusiast. Sometimes it doesn't work, but this time, right on point.

Very good wine. Multiple berries in the nose and taste. Almost no sugar. Reacts perfectly to aerator.

Enjoyed it with choriço and mushroom pizza.

2023 Adegamãe Redblend

 Adegamãe Rosé was good, so we decided to try red. The red is great! Powerful caramel note and a hint of raspberry. Very well balanced, almost no sugar.

Enjoyed it with ham and mushroom pizza and then with baked bonito. This wine would pair with almost any red meat and red fish.
