Quinta Vista, 'Reserva Rosado', 2024, Lisboa

'One-Liner'
Bright, juicy Portuguese rosé – fresh red berries, crisp acidity and pure easy-drinking charm.

Tasting Note
Pale salmon pink in the glass. The nose is lively and fruit-forward, showing fresh strawberries, raspberry and a hint of citrus. On the palate it’s crisp and refreshing, with a juicy red berry core and a clean, dry finish. Nicely balanced with just enough weight to feel satisfying without losing that all-important freshness. Straightforward, vibrant and very moreish.

The Story
Rosé from Lisboa benefits from the same coastal influence that makes the region’s whites so appealing. Warm days build ripe, expressive fruit, while Atlantic breezes keep everything fresh and lifted. Quinta Vista’s Reserva Rosé is made in a clean, modern style, focusing on purity of fruit and drinkability. The “Reserva” label here signals a bit more concentration and polish, giving it a step up from basic, poolside rosé without losing its easy-going nature.
