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.
Interesting rosé color in the glass. Obviously, the color comes from resting in the red wine barrel. Aroma of cooked agave, flowers, minerals and oak. Flavor of cooked agave, black pepper, oak, minerals and citrus. Medium finish. The rosé color adds some appeal for some.
