"The pale rosé 2018 Viña Real Rosado is a "clarete" blend that mixes red and white grapes. It's a fresh and light rosé with fruit and acidity. 2018 saw a late harvest that started on October 1st and produced slightly lighter, less alcoholic and more elegant and fresh wines. This goes more in the direction of a white, and in this cool, year it has a vibrant palate. The nose also has a lot of reminiscences with a white wine, such as flowers and white rather than red fruit. It's tasty, long and very easy to drink."
