TASTING NOTE
Westfriese Parel 2017
sparkling wine
A pleasantly surprising sparkling rosé wine! There is a nice palet of red fruit and blossoms in the nose. We taste a lot of red fruit and citrus: strawberries, redcurrants, rose hips and a hint of grapefruit and lemon. A delicate mousse. Enjoy it on a spring or summer afternoon. Don’t pair with food, just drink and enjoy. The bubbles vanish quite fast so pour another glass before both the sun and the bubbles are gone!

Detailed Tasting Notes
Wine tasting: 3 Mar 2020
Appearance
A clear, salmon colored wine with a medium- color intensity and clear petillance in the glass.
Nose
The wine has a clean, youthful nose. Aroma intensity is medium-. We smell a nice palet of red fruit and blossoms: strawberries, raspberries and a bouquet of red and pink flowers.
Palate
An off-dry wine with a medium level of alcohol. Acidity is a bit higher (medium+) which adds freshness to the wine. The body is not very intense (medium-) and flavour intensity is medium. We taste a lot of red fruit and citrus: strawberries, redcurrants, rose hips and a hint of grapefruit and lemon. The wine has a delicate mousse and a medium- finish.
Quality Assessment
It is a good wine. It is ready to drink but doesn’t have potential for further improvement. We found this a pleasantly surprising wine! Enjoy it on a spring or summer afternoon, don’t pair it with food, just drink and enjoy. A bit disappointing is that the bubbles vanish quite fast so pour another glass before both the sun and the bubbles are gone!
