This rosé is crafted from meticulously selected Aragonês and Castelão grape varieties. It boasts a vibrant and daring hue. Its aroma is characterized by hints of strawberry and redcurrant, culminating in a seductive and captivating finish. Its natural acidity and remarkable body mirror the freshness and genuineness of the Lisbon region.
