Araldica d'Aria Pinot Grigio Rosé 2012 (Italy)

Nose:  Citrusy, though nothing too sweet.

Taste:  Maybe something floral, or strawberry?  But not overpowering.  Pretty dry.

Finish:  A bit tart.

What we say:  S - "I don't know if it's floral, or it just tastes like flowers"  "I've had some bad rosés, but this is ok."

What they say:  Has all the zest and verve of a Pinot Grigio, with some of the flavour and colour from the pink skins squeezed into it.

Rating:   6

Price:  £7.99

Mateus Rosé (Portugal)

Nose:  Sweet, floral, a bit of citrus - almost lemon

Taste:  Light, slightly carbonated, semi-sweet

Finish:  Almost nothing

What we say:  V - 'It's a nice scent.  It's pretty fresh.'  S - 'It doesn't taste like much, but its not bad either' 'Rosés are summery drinks and should be refreshing, and this is.  It's not sickly sweet and its not too heavy either'  V - 'It's a little bit too much like juice.'

What they say:  Young, fresh, fruity and versatile

Rating:  5.5 (V - 5; S - 6)
