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.
