Details
Bright, fun, and ready to play! This rose wine is a blend of Vinhão, Touriga Nacional, and Espadeiro - grapes that may be hard to pronounce, but make up for it in this easy-to-love character! Full of charm this slightly spritzy and juicy pink Vinho Verde boasts lively acid and flavours of ripe strawberry, watermelon, and salty citrus with a subtle hint of herbs. Enjoy it ice-cold by the pool or with your favourite picnic bites.
Origin: The spiritual home of rosé is Provence, in Southern France. Mainly Grown In: Rosé is found all over the world these days, but coastal regions are especially well suited to the growing of red grapes for rosé. Key Facts: Rosé is predominantly made from red grape varieties. The colour in wine comes from the pigment found in the skins of the grapes, so even red grapes have clear-coloured juice. The colour is then ‘bled’ out of the skins by infusing the skins into the juice. So for rosé, the wine simply spends far less time hanging out with the skins! Rarely you will find a rosé that is a combo of white and red grapes – they’re not ‘less good’, just less common. Rosé is super versatile – it suits any occasion. Best to always have a bottle in the fridge, just in case, you know… Wednesday happens or something. Fun Fact: Rosé is probably the most versatile and food-friendly style of wine in the world, especially if it has a kiss of sweetness which works great with salty, fruity or spicy fare! What a winner!

Pairing guide
This elegant Vinho Verde rosé wine is a real delight to the senses. It’s going to be delicious with barbecued chicken, prawns or roast side of salmon, and will work especially well with fresh tomato salads, potato salads and dishes of spiced pasta, rice or couscous. Moroccan chicken, seared tuna steaks and sushi will also pair beautifully here, and you’ll even get great results with a big plate of loaded fries or nachos.

Wine region

Vinho Verde, Portugal
Vinho Verde is a wine region located in the Minho province of Portugal, known for producing light and refreshing wines that are perfect for warm weather. The region's name, which means "green wine," refers to the young age of the wines, which are typically consumed within a year of their production. The wines are typically made from indigenous grape varieties, such as Alvarinho and Loureiro, and are characterised by their low alcohol content, high acidity, and slight effervescence. There is a fascinating tradition of having the vines climb up high so you can pick the grapes while standing however this has mostly faded out now.
