Herdade do Arrepiado Velho Rosé 2017

Alentejo, Central and Southern Portugal, PortugalThis Alentejano rosé comes through the lens of Antonio Maçanita, Portugal's young highly heralded consulting winemaker. This blend of 80/20 petit verdot and touriga naçional was fermented and rested briefly in stainless. The grapes' ample perfume wafts above a tart base of wild cranberries, tangerine, red currants. Acidity is snappy and the palate is smooth, finishing with an orange creamsicle note and red floral kiss. Lively and silken, this will well suit rose or light tomato dressed pastas.Tasted: 14 October 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
