Rose with flower

When I choose a bottle of wine at a wine shop randomly, I choose one with a label which is appealing to me. I don't have specific criteria: it can be color, it can be the font of the letters; anyway, it usually works.

JC brought home this wine: Raventos La Rosa Vins de Terrer 2015

Rose wine from Penedes, Spain.
Penedes is known for its Cava production, and one family member of Raventos is said to produce the first Cava in Spain in 1872.

The picture of the flower on the label is beautiful, but this is a kind of design I wouldn't choose, so I didn't have high expectation when I tried it.
It actually was not bad at all.
It had flower like the label, pleasant fruitiness and a little bit of bitterness of grapefruit.
Acid was low but refreshing.
Alcohol is relatively low and easy to drink.

When I have a glass of wine in one hand and any food on the other, I try them together. This day, what I had on my other hand was coffee ice cream.
The pairing was...not that bad.
The flavor somehow reminded me of Champagne.
The wine was made with Pinot Noir, but it can be the reason?
