Shop Review: "One sip of Stella Rosa Pineapple Flavored Sparkling Wine will transport you to your favorite beach paradise. Grapes for this wine have harvested from beautiful vineyards. It is a proprietary blend of several white grape varietals, including White Moscato. It's a refreshing wine with natural flavors of ripe tropical pineapple created using a natural distillation process. Its fresh, fruity flavor livens your taste buds with such intensity that you almost feel the light ocean breeze on your face and warm sand on your toes." - Wine Review from gotoLiquorStore (https://www.gotoliquorstore.com/p/stella-rosa-pineapple/11388)

Personal Review: I am a huge fan of pineapple in general so to have tried a wine that encompasses the flavors of pineapple so well was amazing. It was not overwhelmingly sweet which I enjoyed a lot; it was not very dry at all either. It is very good, especially when chilled. Next time I have this, I want to try and pair it with various types of food to see how the flavors go together.
