A few weeks ago I reviewed the Reginato Sparkling Torrontés Chardonnay, which was just outstanding. So I was excited to check out another sparkler from them, the Reginato Sparkling Rosé of Malbec.
Like much of the malbec you see on the shelves these days, this one is from Mendoza, Argentina. But it’s a lot lighter in color than you might expect from a malbec… yep, it’s a rosé.
Similar to the Torrontés Chardonnay, the Rosé of Malbec is a relatively small production wine with only 1,500 cases produced. It didn’t blow me away the way the Torrontés Chardonnay did, but it is still a very nice sparkler and an exceptional bargain.
Yeast and cranberry aromas give this wine a pleasant nose. The palate is dry and offers lemon, rhubarb yeast and mineral flavors. The texture is moderately bubbly. The acidity is good. It finishes with salty mineral and citrus flavors.
