CASTEL PUYOL ROSÉ – VINO ROSADO – MERLOT/TANNAT/CABERNET SAUVIGNON – BODEGAS CARRAU DESDE 1752 – C. MAYO GUTIÉRREZ 2556   -  MONTEVIDEO  -  URUGUAY  -  I.NA.VI  118 A     12%   2010

VISUAL ANALYSIS: according to the degree of limpidity, this wine can be defined not so limpid for the presence of petillant; the shade is similar to the colour of some varieties of cherries and the wine flows with easy and slow fluidity.

OLFACTORY ANALYSIS: the different fragrances which creates the olfactory bouquet are  cherry, strawberries, candied cherry and wild flowers.

GUSTATIVE ANALYSIS: we can detect a significant salivation and simultaneously an interesting softness; the harmony is  relevant and the final is sweety and strawberry flavoured. The gustative aromatic persistence is about  3/4 seconds.

WINE-FOOD COMBINATION: grilled spicy chicken

  • The spicy sensation is neutralizing the softness of the wine
  • The structure of the recipe is matching to the structure of the wine
  • The gustative persistence of the meat is pairing with the aromatic persistence of the wine

MY PERSONAL OPINION: do not hesitate to offer some more wine to your guest, surely he/she will be very pleased to take advantage of this rosé wine.
