2023 Vegatolosa Hoya del Carmen Rosé

Few wines are as identifiable with farmers-market-fresh fruit as a great rosé, and the Hoya del Carmen is a great example. Opening with ripe strawberry, cherry, and just a touch of crisp raspberry, the palate is charming, and a bit richer than most rosé, but still just as refreshing.

A dynamic rosé like this will be just delightful pondering on its own, but will do very well against food that enjoys a bit of fruit. Perfect with a salad featuring fresh fruit (or bacon), it'll be just as good next to a delicately-cooked game bird, or a more substantial protein like a pork chop with red cabbage.
