Vera Vinho Verde Rosé — Vinho Verde DOC, Portugal 2025
In 1991, this house did something no one in the Vinho Verde DOC had ever done: they made a rosé. More than three decades later, Vera remains the original — and the benchmark. The wine is built around Vinhão, a rare tinturier grape (red pulp, not just red skin) that gives the wine its striking deep color and structural backbone. Rabo de Anho — an untranslatable, rarely planted indigenous variety — rounds out the blend, adding lightness, freshness, and a delicate floral lift that keeps everything in balance. At $11.99, it is one of the most distinctive rosés in the shop.
The 2025 vintage is vivid and immediately appealing. The nose opens with fresh strawberry, watermelon, and floral notes — bright and clean. On the palate it is crisp and lightly effervescent, with juicy red fruit, a whisper of minerality, and a refreshing finish that invites another pour. It drinks like summer in a glass.
Winemaker’s Note — "This house was the first to ever produce a Rosé in the Vinho Verde DOC, back in 1991. Vinhão is a tinturier — a red pulp grape — hence the dark color. Rabo de Anho, an untranslatable, rarely planted grape, adds lightness and freshness to the blend."
