J Portugal Ramos Vinho Verde Rose

Vinho Verde Rose bottle image

Wine Description

This Vinho Verde rose is a blend of Portugal’s most noble grape Touriga Nacional, and two grapes native to the region – Padeiro and Espareido. The sourcing of the grapes comes from the sub-regions of Lima and Cavado in the Vinho Verde region. The grapes are macerated for a short time for greater texture and then fermented cool in stainless steel tanks to preserve the refreshing acidity and youthful fruitiness. The wine is lightly fined for a brilliant clarity and then bottled for immediate enjoyment.

Acclaim
“A fresh, floral-driven rosé, with juicy red currant and cherry fruit mixed with spice details. Mouthwatering finish. Espadeiro and Padeiro.”
— Wine Spectator, Jun 2018
“Really crisp and fruity, this light, dry wine has a slight prickle on the tongue. It has the cool, clean taste of Vinho Verde and is refreshing and full of bright acidity at the end.” (Best Buy)
