OSTATU Rosado 2017

(Rioja, Spain) $15

Is there anyone left who hasn’t become a rosé drinker? (Rosé’s multi-year meteoric rise in sales makes that hard to imagine). Around our office, we taste scores and scores of good rosés, but this wine really knocked us out. It’s from the Alavesa, the best part of Rioja, and its taut minerally flavors are racy, sophisticated, and delicious. The top Spanish rosés (rosados), by the way, are some of the most exciting in Europe. Ostatu rosé tastes like it costs a lot more than it does. Don’t you need a refreshing summer staple? (13.5% abv)
