AmeztoiI discovered this beautiful pale pink wine with the 2009 vintage and it’s been one of my go-to summer rosés.

This zippy Spanish wine is super dry with a great level of acidity. Strawberry, floral and slate nose. Light fizz on the front of the sip that dissipates into a dry finish. Bright, ripe strawberry flavors make this a great wine for summer sipping or to match up with foods that are a little fatty like salmon or event lamb chops.

Wine&Spirits – 90 points.

'09 Ameztoi Rubentis

This beautiful pale pink wine is both light and bold!  Big mouthful of the typical strawberry one is familiar with in roses, but in this case, pungent wild strawberries.  The wine is creamy yet floral and contains tons of tiny bubbles that lead to a dry finish.  Nice as an aperitif, but could also hold up to a fattier fish like salmon. Actually had this wine paired with lightly seasoned lamb chops and it held up.

match.
