A Descoberta Rosé

Description

**Casa da Passarella** The mystery of the box found inside one of the walls of Casa da Passarella has finally been solved. The story begins in 1942, when a box was walled up in one of the rooms of Casa da Passarella by its former owners. It contained a document written in cursive script, with instructions to be opened 50 years later. The document, signed by a group of emblematic figures of the time, also stated a final wish: that all the valuables kept in the box be distributed to the poor. What is certain is that neither of these things happened. It was not until 2010, when the house underwent renovation, that the box was found and opened. There was nothing inside. Investigations went on, and the mystery was never unravelled. Just as resignation seemed to be winning over persistence, a specialist in the unusual was called to the site: "The box was indeed full," explained Professor K. Noronha, "but not of tangible, material things. The box was imbued with an extraordinary essence which, reacting with the times to come, would bring happiness through wine to all who made art and profit from it. Well, those times to come are already part of the present. And this is a double discovery," he concluded. **A Descoberta** is a DOC Dão rosé from the Serra da Estrela sub-region. It comes from vineyards planted in poor, granitic soils, in a mountain climate. **Winemaking:** Free-run juice, fermentation at controlled temperature. Ideal with grilled dishes and salads, but its defining feature is its gastronomic versatility. **Oenology:** Paulo Nunes. **Allergen information** Contains sulphites. **SKU:** 104923
