Product Description
"The Vera Story: 'After 12 years living abroad, I returned to my native
Portugal. A friend in NY suggested I find some delicious Vinho Verde to
send to the States. I told him if he came to visit me we would find it
together. We started with a basic, yet eccentric idea, to offer an
exceptional Vinho Verde. Right before the 2010 harvest, we drove across
northern Portugal in search of the Vinho Verde holy grail. We think we
found it and invite you to decide for yourself.
VERA – meaning true, is a fresh and light as the maritime climate of
northern Portugal. Drink it as my family does, chilled as an end-of-day
relaxing drink, or as an accompaniment to light meals, like sushi and
seafood, chicken, salads and pastas.'" -Rui Abecassis and Bruce
SchneiderVera Vinho Verde Rosé 2011 Reviews
"The 2011 Rose is a low alcohol pink, just 11.5%. It is a blend of 60% Vinhao and 40% Rabo-de-Anho, with a dark, deep, attractive color. It is sourced from vines aged 30-50 years old. It is my favorite of the group. This is, to use a phrase I’ve been tossing around of late, a “waiter with the water” wine, a reference to the old Ella Fitzgerald novelty tune. That is, you know it really is not overly serious in a sense, but you get seriously addicted to it anyway simply because it is done so well in its style. Let’s put it this way--it will certainly be one of the first bottles drained at any picnic this summer, so I am leaning up a bit. This bargain priced pink is simply invigorating, crisp, refreshing and quite delicious, with the depth of a red and the acidity of a white. It delivers tasty raspberry notes to the palate. Vinhao reds can be an acquired taste, but this blended pink gets it just right. Those bursts of acidity enliven it beautifully, yet they are reasonably well integrated. Keep it well chilled. Knock it back. It is simply perfect for a hot summer evening on the porch. You may wonder why you didn’t buy a case. Drink now-2014." - 88, Wine AdvocateVera Vinho Verde Rosé 2011 Tasting Notes
Aromas of wild strawberries, red currant, and Meyer lemon zest. On the palate pink grapefruit and strawberry balanced by a refreshing minerality with a crisp elegant finish.
