Rose - Tempranillo - Encantado - Ai Galera

VINTAGE:

2018

REGION:

Tejo - Portugal

Long overlooked by the wine cognoscenti, the burgeoning interest in Portuguese wine is finally resulting in more awareness of the potential of this proud country.

The previously undervalued Tejo region, lying to the south of Lisbon, is capable of producing wines of enormous value and character – something that is captured by Ai Galera.

GRAPE VARIETY:

Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo)

COLOUR:

Flamingo Pink

NOSE:

A beautiful aroma of fresh red fruits with cherry being predominant. 

PALATE:

Intense flavours that match the aroma, fresh and delicate.

FOOD PAIRING:

Sushi, salad and Mediterranean foods. 

METHOD:

From around the region of Charneca on sandy-clay soils. 

The destemmed grapes were kept in contact with the skins for 6 to 8 hours, after which a controlled fermentation at 16ºC was carried out.
