Winzergenossenschaft Königschaffhausen Pinot Noir Rosé 2010, Q.B.A., Baden, Germany: Vintages Wine Panel: Pale salmon-pink colour. Very refreshing rosé with aromas of rose petals, strawberry, red apple, almond paste and red pepper jelly. Dry with tangy fruit and balancing crisp acidity. Light bodied, vivacious wine that is perfect for sipping. My note: You simply can’t beat the price for this delightful rose with surprisingly lovely quality and taste. It’ a terrific mid-way style between the more vibrant fruit of the New World styles and the restrained Old World versions. Try it, and I’ll bet you’ll be in for a case, if there’s any left.

Faustino Rosado Tempranillo 2010, D.O.C.A., Rioja, Spain: Vintages Wine Panel: Faustino Martinez’s Rosado is made with 100% Tempranillo. The fruit macerates on the juice only 8-10 hours at low temperatures before it is bled off. The wines are then fermented and matured in stainless steel. Look for aromas of blackberry, raspberry and strawberry. The fruit notes continue through the tasting, culminating in round, zippy flavours and a refreshing finish. Try this medium-bodied rosé today. My note: I like this style of tarter less fleshy sweet rose. It gives a lot of drinking pleasure over an evening and you don’t satiate quickly…. This is important to a hedonist. Lovely aromas of cranberry, rose petal and raspberry. Refreshing. Drink: 2010-2014. 700534 13% XD 750 mL  $12.95 Score: 89/100. June 11, 2011 Best Value Rosé. Enchanting Feta Cheese Wine Full Review
