There are more and better rosé wines in Portugal

 

From the various products we promote, we can see that in every small producer we are proud to represent and promote, there is a greater focus on the production of rosé wines.

 

Rosé is one of the types of wine that the world of wine has to offer and is produced from red grapes. Yes, the grapes are not pink. Rosé wine can be produced in two ways: from the light maceration of red grapes, which then follow the bica-aberta vinification process (typical of white wines, which consists of vinifying the must without the skins) or simply by mixing white and red grapes, although this process is less commonly used.

 

According to the IVV (Instituto da Vinha e do Vinho), rosés are most commonly produced by crushing the grapes and macerating them for very short periods. This method is used for 88% of rosé wine production.

In general, we are seeing more and more quality in the final product.

 

Rosé wine is synonymous with conviviality, entertainment and partying. It is increasingly popular all year round, not just in summer.

 

A light color will give you a light wine with little tannin, a taste of exotic fruits and a floral mouthfeel.

But if you're a fan of a good polished tannin, there are also rosé wines that are darker in color and more pronounced in taste, with flavors of blackcurrant, red fruit and strawberry.

The serving temperature should be between 10°C for full-bodied rosés and 12°C for lighter rosés. In other words, they should always be served chilled. We recommend that during your tasting, you always have a frappé or a mango.

 

Warning: rosé that is too chilled can lose its aromatic capacity, and above the right temperature it will not be pleasant to drink
