2009 Quinta de Gomariz Espadeiro Rosé
Quinta de Gomariz 2009 Espadeiro Rosé Vinho Verde
Looking for an interesting Rosé to brighten your day? Try something new like this lovely Portuguese pink from the Vinho Verde sub-region of Minho. It has many similarities to the well-known “green wine” more commonly exported and simply called Vinho Verde. It too is fresh, young, and bright in fruit with a hint of effervescence, but pours prettier with a color and nose of wild strawberries stemming from the local Espadeiro grape used for this particular bottle. A squeeze of lemon and slate-like minerality wafts up as you swirl and sniff. Dry and zippy, the flavors settle into stronger notes of strawberry twizzlers, pepper and lime.
This is a great summer sipper for a poolside party, great with appetizers and proved to be the perfect companion to a fabulous diner at Kanella restaurant the other evening for our party of four.
