2024 Quinta da Raza Vicinus Vinho Verde Rosado

The 2024 Quinta da Raza Vicinus Vinho Verde Rosado is a lively Portuguese rosé from the family-owned Quinta da Raza estate in the Basto subregion of Vinho Verde, where sustainable farming and native grape varieties are central to the winery’s fresh, approachable style. Made from indigenous grapes such as Espadeiro, Padeiro, and Vinhão and fermented in stainless steel to preserve brightness, the wine shows vibrant aromas of strawberry, red cherry, watermelon, and wildflowers with hints of citrus and a light natural spritz typical of Vinho Verde rosés. On the palate it is crisp and refreshing with bright acidity, a light body, and a clean, slightly saline finish that makes it especially versatile with seafood, salads, grilled vegetables, charcuterie, or Mediterranean fare, while also shining as an easy aperitif served well chilled.
