Vallformosa is a family-owned winery, now managed by the fifth generation of the Domènech family. established in 1865 in Vilobí del Penedès, in the heart of Spain's region, The family name first appeared in local history as far back as the 10th Century. Made from the traditional Cava grape varieties of Macabeo, Xarel-lo and Parellada. Their classic Rosato is very pale pink cherry in colour. Fine, persistent bubbles, Clean and bright. On the nose aromas of red fruits like cherries, strawberries and blackberries are presented. Also floral aromas of roses and notes of undergrowth. The palate is intense, fresh, full-bodied and persistent with hints of red fruits. Very fresh and lingering finish with hints of strawberry and raspberry.
I enjoyed the wine in so far as it is well rounded - the taste of black fruit evident - not sure about the liquorice though. All in all for the price a pleasant easy drinking wine.

Super ripe very smooth dry red, with just a hint of Cherries in that Italian style and You are able to drink this wine with or without food, Very good value at $20.
We've been fans of their Syrah and Chardonnay for some time and this is another go-to product we'll add to the list.
Light in colour, but plenty of depth and flavour and pleasingly dry.
Highly recommended.
