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.
If you like full bodied Italian style reds particularly Amarone then this is a really good everyday drinking alternative. Especially suited for winter meals or perhaps bbq lamb in summer. I’ve just finished ordering some more.
A great range to select from but scored 4 for a 2 day delivery in AKL & challenges in processing my order online.
