In the glass
Aroma: tropical fruit, mineral
Palate: smooth entry, elegant fruit, balanced acidity
A lágrima-pressed Dão rosé with Baga and Cabernet added late for depth: fragrant and mineral, smooth and fresh with a surprisingly long close.
What it pairs with
-
Prawn rissóis
Fried shrimp turnovers need the acid line to reset the palate between bites. -
Salada de atum e feijão frade
The tuna and black-eyed pea salad is light enough for a rosé built on elegance not weight. -
Charcuterie board
Mineral freshness cuts the salt of presunto and chouriço on a summer table.

Frequently asked about Quinta de Saes Rosé
What grapes are in Quinta de Saes Rosé?
Tinta Roriz and Jaen picked first, with fifteen percent Baga and Cabernet Sauvignon added later for complexity, from vines of fifteen to forty-five years on granite at 500 metres.
Is Quinta de Saes Rosé oaked?
No. After a short lágrima press it ferments slowly and stays in stainless steel vats to preserve its aromatics.
