Port Tour in Villa Nova de Gaia

》#4 Rosé

Quevedo Tasting Room

It doesn’t matter how good you work the grapes at the winery unless the origin of the grapes is the best. The most important legacy that we received from our ancestors was the learning that wine is made in the vineyard. For this reason, we cultivate 100 hectares of vineyards, plus 25 hectares of organic olive groves, across five properties in the Douro valley, from the sub-regions of Cima Corgo. This diversity provides grapes of varying aromas and flavors that help us craft distinct wines and make some exciting experiences along the way.

Rosé ports are lighter than ruby ports but still strong in fruit flavors.

It is salmon color with a very inviting nose with aromas of field strawberries and watermelon and fresh. Easy and light on the palate, yet having that classic velvety Port texture. This Port is fun to drink and has serious and pure aromas of young red fruits and tropical fruits. Perfect for hot summer days or in cocktails.

Pairings:
Strawberries
Food from around the world - Pork dumplings, curry noodles, sushi and samosas

》Port Tongs

With an adjustable grip these tongs will open nearly any size bottle of Port or Wine, easily and quickly.

Simply heat them for 1-2 minutes from a gas stove top, a fire, or a bbq and grip the neck of the bottle you wish to open from a point below the cork. After about 15 seconds release the tongs and place in a bowl of cold water. Apply a cloth soaked in cold water to the neck of the bottle for a few seconds and when you remove it the neck should separate cleanly.Baca lagi
