Tasting: Opera Prima Pink Moscato


Name - Opera Prima Pink Moscato
Variety - 97% Muscat, 3% Tempranillo 
Region - La Mancha
Country - Spain
Year - The year was not specified.
Price - $10, but it was on sale at the Vintage Cellar for $6.95. 

Wine Review - This fine sparking presents an intense aroma of fresh berries and tropical fruits with hints of white flower petals.  Delicate bubbles caress the palate offering a silky and pleasant sweetness well balanced by a crisp, refreshing finish.  Ideal on its own, as a aperitif or with all types of sweets and deserts.  It should be served very cold, between 7 and 9 degrees.

Personal Review - The bubbles were very small and I thought it felt very unique on the tongue and throat.  However, I did not like the taste.  To me, it tasted like soap.  Maybe that was just the bubbles, but overall it was very sweet and soapy tasting.  

Food - I did not try this wine with food.
