Sequeirinha Rosé Portvin

Introduction

Sequeirinha Rosé Port represents a beautiful marriage of Portugal’s centuries-old port-making traditions with contemporary winemaking techniques. This distinctive rose-colored fortified wine offers a refreshing alternative to traditional ruby and tawny port styles while maintaining the rich heritage of the Douro Valley.

Production Method

• Raw materials: Selected red grape varieties from the terraced vineyards of Portugal’s Douro Valley, harvested at optimal ripeness
• Distillation process: Limited skin contact during fermentation to achieve the delicate pink color, followed by fortification with grape spirits
• Maturation: Aged in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and fruit character, unlike traditional ports that age in wooden casks
• Special techniques: Cold fermentation process that maintains the wine’s vibrant fruit aromas and creates a fresher, less oxidized style of port

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Bright aromas of fresh strawberries, raspberries, and cherry blossoms with subtle hints of citrus zest
• Palate: Crisp red berry flavors balanced with gentle sweetness, offering notes of wild strawberry, pomegranate, and a touch of vanilla
• Finish: Medium-length finish with lingering fruit sweetness, balanced by refreshing acidity and subtle mineral undertones

Recommended Serving

• Serving temperature: 8-10°C (46-50°F), well-chilled to highlight its refreshing characteristics
• Glass recommendation: Small port glass or white wine glass to concentrate the delicate aromas
• Serving ideas: Excellent as an aperitif, particularly during warm weather, or as a refreshing after-dinner alternative to heavier dessert wines
• Food pairings: Complements fresh berry desserts, fruit tarts, soft cheeses, and spicy Asian cuisine; also pairs wonderfully with salted nuts or as an accompaniment to afternoon pastries
