Vinedos Barrihuelo, Rioja Rosado, Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference

I continue to be impressed with Tesco’s revitalised ‘Finest’ range and with Sainsburys ‘Taste the Difference’ range.  The wine is from Bodegas Muriel: founded in 1926, it is now one of the largest family-owned and managed wine companies in Rioja. They create modern tasting wines.

Tasting notes: Dark pink colour. Red fruit aromas. Balanced acidity. A little length to the finish. Just off-dry. A little intensity. A little complexity: hints of cherry and strawberry flavours.

Wine Colour – rosé
Price – £7.50
Where do I get it from? Sainsbury’s
Current Vintage – 2019
Producer – Bodegas Muriel
Grapes – Tempranillo, Garnacha, Viura 
Region/Country – Catalonia/Spain

Verdict – Good wine for the price

Food Pairing: Good as an aperitif, or with tapas.
