Freixenet, Rosé NV, Cava, Catalonia, Spain

This good value rosé is a blend of Garnacha and Trepat, an indigenous variety of Conca de Barberà in Tarragona - there are only 1,000ha planted in Catalonia. Strawberries and raspberries on the nose. Lots of ripe and creamy red berry fruit on the palate; the sweetness held in check by citrus acidity. A fun summer sparkler.
