I'm pretty sure I've bought the Caceres a couple of times and did enjoy it.

Mmmmm!!!! I recently shared a bottle of the Möet and it was very tasty, indeed.
One of my absolute favourites is a local BC wine (Okanagan Valley) made from Rotberger grapes, which are not widely grown. Simply called
Rotberger Rosé, I usually order a case of it each summer.
This wine dances in the glass with its dark rose petal hue. The penetrating aroma shows spice, raspberry and currant notes, leading to flavours of spiced cherries and cranberries with linger on the long, lively finish. The ample flavours and full, firm texture herald a wine that is proud to be a true rosé. Serve chilled during al fresco luncheons and picnics with a wide selection of foods including pasta, turkey and pork.
Of course, it's probably not very available outside of BC.
