Details
Spritz alert, everyone! This rosé brings that signature Vinho Verde sparkle - guaranteed to put a little bounce in your glass. Super easy-drinking, it captures the classic style with a zing of tart fruit, a hint of indulgent sweetness, and loads of juicy red berry flavour, all wrapped up with a citrusy twist. It's vibrant, moreish, and a fantastic showcase of what this region does so well.

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 Ancient Greece, some of the first wines ever made were rosé, made by blending white and red wines!

Pairing guide
Brimming with juicy red berry flavours and a soft, well-balanced charm, this lovely rosé is a real crowd-pleaser - one sip and you’ll be coming back for more! It’s a dream with simple, flavourful dishes like poached salmon, seared tuna steaks, or cold roast ham with steamed veg. It also holds its own alongside pasta favourites like spaghetti pomodoro or a punchy puttanesca. We also adored it with roasted red pepper and sundried tomato plates, grilled halloumi, chicken or prawn tikka, and couscous salads drizzled with pomegranate molasses.

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.
