J Portugal Ramos Vinho Verde Rose
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.
