2024 Marcio Lopes Rosa Rosé

A fresh, expressive, and naturally crafted Vinho Verde rosé from Melgaço in northern Portugal. This wine blends Vinhão (50%) and Alvarelhão (50%)—two indigenous red grapes known for their vivid color, lively acidity, and refreshing character. Made with a let-the-vineyard-speak philosophy, it features a naturally occurring spritz characteristic of the region and Atlantic-driven freshness. The Vinhão base brings vivid color and acidity, while Alvarelhão contributes elegance and aromatics. Light and bright at 11% alcohol, this modern Portuguese natural wine showcases the distinctive effervescence and saline minerality of the Vinho Verde region.
