Tasting - Flor de Anon Rosado

Flor de Anon Rosado
Name: Flor de Anon Rosado
Variety: Grenache
Region: Campo de Borja, Aragon
Country: Spain
Year: 2021
Price: $8

Online Notes: "A strawberry-pink rosé wine with light bluish tones. A complex nose in which fresh red fruits such as strawberry and cherry are prevalent, with an elegant aroma of violets and roses. Full-bodied, flavoursome, fresh and very wellbalanced in the mouth. Full of nuances in mid-palate, with a lengthy aftertaste in which the fruit and delicate floral aromas return." [Bodegas Ainzon]

Wine Folly Notes: This wine was more of a medium-light body as opposed to a medium-full, probably because it is a Grenache rose instead of full red. I got strong hints of strawberry in the aroma, but not so much in the taste, and didn't note any of the other primary flavors listed. [WineFolly.com]

My Notes: The aroma had strong hints of strawberry and oak, which came through with a creamy and rich aftertaste. I got hints of cherry, but strangely no strawberry despite the strong aroma. Overall, this was a refreshing, semisweet wine with a medium-light body.

I did not try this wine with food.

My wine-tasting group with special guest, Sommelier Randall!
