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
“Light bright orange. High-pitched red berry and citrus fruit aromas and flavors are complemented by a hint of candied rose. Dry and nervy in style, delivering zesty cut and a spicy touch of white pepper. Fat-free and very easy to drink; finishes taut and clean, displaying good tenacity.”
— Josh Raynolds, Jun 2017
“This is a finely made wine, fresh and crisp. It is dry but with a soft texture that turns it into a wine that’s both good with food and as an apéritif. The aftertaste is crisp and still fruity.” (Best Buy)
