PORTUGAL VIN VERDE ROSE CASAL GARCIA NV

Wine Tasting

The Vinho Verde Rosé from Casal Garcia presents itself in a wonderful rosé tone. Wonderfully fruity aromas of freshly picked raspberries and strawberries unfold in the nose.

The impression of the nose is repeated on the palate and is complemented by notes of juicy cherries and forest fruits. The fruity character is accompanied by a balanced acidity, wonderful freshness, and a crisp structure.

Food recommendation for the Vinho Verde Rosé 

Enjoy this Portuguese rosé wine with light summer salads, squid rings, shrimp risotto or alone on a cozy, balmy summer evening.

HOW IT ALL BEGAN

Casal Garcia was born in 1939, a year in which the vintage was particularly good. Returning by train from the grape harvest in the Douro, the French oenologist Eugène Hélisse decided to interrupt his journey to Oporto after passing the vines of the Quinta da Aveleda, in Penafiel. Dressed in white, and with a straw hat to ward off the heat of the end of summer, he began to walk towards the property’s cellar. He went in, introduced himself and insisted on speaking to the owner, Roberto Guedes.

What he had seen minutes before from the window of the train was truly special: the vines were beautifully cared for and the land was divided according to grape variety, everything in French style. This was not a usual procedure in the Vinho Verde region. After a long conversation, Roberto Guedes decided to contract the services of the French oenologist, who had promised him significant improvements in the method of winemaking. The results became evident at the end of the harvest, when Eugène Hélisse took a sample from a wooden barrel and placed it in an old glass bottle. The wine had a beautiful, transparent colour and such a freshness that everyone present was thrilled. Thus, in order to enhance the wine’s appearance, he passed a lace handkerchief over the bottle to clean the dust. And there the lace remained!

The name came about by itself, since the wine was produced from one of the vines of Aveleda: that of Casal Garcia.
