Winemaking

Produced from the Espadeiro and Touriga Nacional variety, this wine defines a new concept in rosé. The red fruit and berries aromas, blended with the freshness and lightness only possible in a Vinho Verde, make this a very special rosé.

Tasting notes

Clear and bright raspberry colour. Fresh and young aromas. Strawberries and raspberries crushed into currant with generous lime drops. On the palate, a nice structure and a good balance between the alcohol and acidity. The light fizz enhances the wine freshness.
