Wine Tasting: Opera Prima Pink Moscato

Name: Opera Prima Pink Moscato
Variety:  Moscato
Region:
Castilla La Mancha

 Country: Spain
Year:
N/A
Price:
$5.95


Winery Review:  This fine sparkling presents an intense aroma of fresh berries and tropical fruits with hints of white flavor 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. - Vintage Wine Cellar 02/07/2013

My Review: Though not normally a fan of Moscato, I am definitely a fan of the Opera Prima Pink.  The wine tasted extremely smooth, sweet, non-acidic, and a had hint of carbonation.  It was light and fresh with a floral essence to it.  The wine itself reminded me of drinking tea with aromas of an expensive, floral perfume.  Opera Prima was an extremely feminine wine; it is a treat on it's own.

Food: I did not try this wine with food, but think it is too sweet to pair with certain desserts.
