The return of somewhat normal life, warmer temps, more “having people around” and entertaining them outdoors made this month’s choice very easy. This is a joyous little wine that suggests summer…light, refreshing, vibrant and all round delicious. It’s just the perfect thing for guzzling with friends as you kick off long-awaited gatherings. About bloody time…
This 100 year old estate in northern Portugal farms sustainably and makes wines simply…in this case,
old vine Vinhao grapes receive minimal skin contact and the free run juice ferments and ages only in stainless steel tanks. The result; a rose of ethereal light salmon pink color, wild strawberry, watermelon and lovely floral aromas and a burst of mineral energy and light red fruits on the palate. A very slight effervescence delivers great freshness and there is also great persistence in the finish. This is pretty remarkable value as well, which means you can buy more of this, or more shrimp for those tacos, wherever your priority lies…
Match this with a sunset, creamier cheeses, charcuterie, traditional Baja fish or shrimp tacos and all sorts of summer grub that we can now thankfully share in person.
