Topaz gray color. Aromas of lightly pickled strawberry and orange zest, raspberry leaf, and blanched purple cabbage with a velvety, lively, dry medium body and a warming, interesting, medium-length bramble berries, raspberry leaves, manchego umami, and strawberry salt finish. A consumer pleasing showcase of Touriga Nacional’s lighter side.

The most famous rosé wines are Vinho Verde, produced from the far northern region of the Minho province. Made from Espadeiro and Padeiro grapes, these are light wines with flavors of cranberry, apple and strawberry, range from off-dry to medium swwet and are meant to be enjoyed within one or two years, either sipped on their own or with light salads.
