Wine maker notes:
Portuguese amphora rosé wine This rose has a deep pink hue and medium viscosity. A blend of white and red grapes fermented on skins with native yeasts in clay amphoras. Aromas of pomegranate and grapefruit, with a subtle hint of smoked pepper. Medium-bodied, fresh acidity, low tannins, and a bright, textured finish.Vidigueira, Alentejo DOC Hand-harvested on 15 Aug 2023 – Temp 14C – De-stemmed, fermented & aged in talhas (amphoras) for 2 months before bottling. Unfiltered, minimum sulfites
Food Pairing Inspiration:
Musket Rosé brings serious versatility to the table. Pair it with grilled sardines or Korean spicy fried chicken to play up its juicy acidity and subtle smokiness. For lighter fare, go with a watermelon & feta salad or pickled radishes on herbed lavash. It also stands up beautifully to cheeses like Comté (aged 12 months) and Queijo do Évora DOP.
