Azeitao Rosé 2023

Azeitão Rosé is produced in the Setúbal Peninsula region of Portugal, an area known for its favorable Mediterranean climate and proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, which contributes to the wine's fresh and balanced character.

This rosé is typically crafted from a blend of traditional Portuguese grape varieties native to the region, which may include Castelão and other local varietals, contributing to its distinctive flavor profile.

The grapes are carefully harvested and gently pressed to extract the juice with minimal skin contact, allowing for the delicate pink hue characteristic of rosé wines. Fermentation is conducted at controlled temperatures to preserve fresh fruit aromas and maintain balance. The wine is then clarified and stabilized before bottling.
