Tasting note:

Vintages Wine Panel: A blend of 60% Garnacha (Grenache), 30% the white Viura grape, and 10% Tempranillo. Red-pink colour with a salmon-pink hue. Intensely expressive nose of red cherry, pink grapefruit, strawberry, melon and mineral. Dry, medium bodied, and tangy with vibrant acidity. Flavour-packed and finely balanced. Long, tangy finish. A great food wine. My note: Pale and subtle with lovely notes of rose petals, and strawberries. A field of tiny flowers swaying the breeze, or maybe it’s just me who’s swaying and they’re perfectly still. Doesn’t matter; the pleasure is the same. Food matches: seafood tapas, grilled fish.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Travis Oke rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Muga's rosé - or rosado as it's known in Spain. Its lovely salmon-pink hue draws you back to look at it before you taste it – it really is beautiful with floral and apple aromas to match. Fruit forward with a smooth finish and a bit of body, it lingers on your palate more than a typical rosé wine. My favorite Vintages Rosé
