Ohla! Rosé
74/100 How we score
Verdict
Wine first, still unpublished. A light, slightly sweet pink that goes thin in the middle. More picnic drink than convincing rosé.

Tasting notes
-
01
Nose
quiet: strawberry hull and a little watermelon candy. Confectionery more than savoury rosé — fruit is there, but the savoury pink-wine edge is not.
-
02
Palate
Light and slightly sweet. Red fruit over a thin frame — a picnic rosé that lost its weight. The mid-palate is the weak point.
-
03
Finish
Short berry. Keep it cold.

Sources disagree on the following points.
- Product: The US bottle in this cellar is labeled Ohla! De-Alcoholized Wine (rosé in the glass, 750 ml). A More Wines listing titles the same non-alcoholic SKU Ohla! Rosado. Spanish retail also lists a Torres Essentials Ohla Rosado at 12.5% ABV from Garnacha — a different wine. This review uses the US front label, not the Spanish alcoholic SKU.
