Details
This rosé is a blend of Portugal's famous Touriga Nacional and Syrah, displaying attractive notes of sweet, candied strawberry and a lovely, enticing floral character. There is a lovely soft grip on the palate, with good energy and a slightly leafy, green finish.

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 of the wine is actually from pigments 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: In France it’s called Rosé, in Italy they’re called Rosato, and in Spain it’s Rosado.

Pairing guide
Hailing from the beautiful Tejo region of Portugal, this charming and deeply satisfying rosé wine is sure to be a real crowd-pleaser. It’s a superb pairing for dishes making a star ingredient of cured pork products, fresh tomatoes and salty cheeses, and will also work very well with a homemade paella or other similarly punchy rice dishes. Pink rack of lamb, ham and cheese pastries, salads with black pudding, and grilled garlic prawns will all offer great options to explore.
