Van Zellers Rosé

Description

This rosé from Cristiano van Zeller, hailing straight from the Douro, is a delightful surprise. It’s a powerful blend of Trincadeira, Tinta Barroca, and Sousão, echoing the resilience of Douro’s classic grape varieties. The addition of Tinta Roriz provides a welcome structure, while Touriga Nacional lends a refreshing counterpoint – a clever move to balance the region’s intensity. Apparently, it snagged a gold medal at the Douro Wine Awards, suggesting the winemaker has a particularly good nose. Pairs beautifully with grilled fish or those quintessential summer *petiscos*.
