Tequilas aged in wine casks have become trendy recently, as producers play with different barrel influences. But “Rosa” tequilas, like “cristalino”, aren’t an official category.
Blind tasting results: 10 great "Rosa" tequilas.
Nice reddish hue to the tequila from the wine cask. The legs take a good 25-45sec to develop which is beautiful. Nose- agave, honey, fruit like melon, honey sickle, red wine grapeness. Taste- nice agave forward with fruits and slight floralness with a slight twinge from the wine barrels, not in a bad way if flows with the agave and last for a medium finish.
