We drink fair amount of rose wine in Tenerife, Comportellio (similar but not correct spelling) and Liria are very acceptable
rose vinos Both can be bought in Mercadona for around €2
We found some of the more expensive not so good for us anyway !!

The two members that should be a great help are LindaD or Carol55 , by the amount of wine that they consume together while in Tenerife should make them experts in the art of wine tasting. :D

Many thanks for your help so far folks, I would also love to hear recommendations from our two resident experts too...carol55, LindaD....:lol:
For white we buy El Coto around € 3.30 a bottle and the red we like is Pata Negra - €3 a bottle or a box of 4 for €10 (from Mercadona), we are not experts or wine snobs but just like what we like.
ooppps - having reread your original request I see you are asking about Rose - my fault, sorry cant be of any help but good luck.
If you like sweet wine you should totally visit wineyards of Valle de Güímar.
Back on topic: look for wine with grape variety called malvasia which is naturally sweet. They are mostly white wines (like Viñatigo) but there is also rose wine with addition of malvasia in ratio 70%:30% which adds nice sweet taste to it, I don't remember the name though.
I Love Rose wine, but unfortunately I think Blossom Hill is quite disgusting whilst my friends all like it. My favourite in Tenerife would be Torres DE Casta from Mercadona.

With the amount of the Clydesdale Bank overdraft that I need to feed Carol's habit, it certainly keeps them afloat!;)

He's just not tuned in to our sense of humour Carol, does he really think we would do that to Ecky :whistle:
Anyway who was "chatting" to him - it wisnae me:dontknow:
My bet, he's alive and well and wasn't shipped to Iraq,
I would go there myself, but she said, that'd be too much, so Tenerife it is!

Carol is staying alcohol free tonight, Liam the youngest is with us, but I'm sure that he will tempt her to have a drink.
