Caves Messias Santola Vinho Rose

Caves Messias Santola Vinho Rose

The Santola Vinho Verde Rosé is made exclusively from red grape varieties. A soft crushing and pressing make it possible to gently extract the juice. The Rosé must is clarified, resulting in a bright, clear wine. The final wine has vibrant aromas and flavors of fresh strawberry, pomegranate and orange zest, which are corralled by a pleasantly light spritz.  Very refreshing.

Vinho Verde is a well-known DOC in the Minho region of northwest Portugal. The quality of the wines made here are so fresh and light that they earn the moniker verde ('green'), which applies even to the red. White, red and rosé wine are permitted by the DOC but it is youthful white wine that is by far the most popular.
