Vintage Cellar Tasting - Opera Prima

  • Name: Opera Prima
  • Variety: Pink Moscato
  • Region: Castilla
  • Country: Spain
  • Year: No Vintage
  • Price: $5.95
  • Shop Review: This fine sparkling presents and intense aroma of fresh berries and tropical fruits with hints of white flavor petals.  Delicate bubbles caress the palate offering a silky and pleasant sweetness well balanced by a crisp, refreshing finish.  Ideal on its own, as an aperitif or with all types of sweets and desserts.
  • My Review: When this wine was poured it fizzed right up.  I love bubbly wines.  I sniffed it and I was immediately reminded of the summer.  It was light and fruity with a definitive smell of pink grapefruit.  I tasted this and it literally tasted like carbonated, sour, grapefruit juice, which doesn't exist, but it should because this was delicious.  If I had unlimited money I would have bought this one too.  This tasting was great, I wish I could have bought so many more.
  • No food, I think this would be best alone anyways.
