Raza Padeiro Single Vineyard 11.5% 75cl

One of Raza's main red grape varieties, the Padeiro variety is planted on the Outeiro vineyard, Raza’s most secluded. The surrounding forest of ancient oak trees provide the ideal conditions for these grapes to maintain their unique freshness. Less colour than Vinhao, but just as much acidity and structure. 

This single vineyard produces light-skinned grapes, that lend themselves to just a little skin contact to make a really fresh and crisp rose. Lovely, light red berry character with a hint of wildness. Very drinkable, but also textural and structured enough to pair with a wide range of foods. 

The grapes are manually picked from a single vineyard, destemmed and pressed at low pressures. The juice from the first pressing is naturally fermented, followed by a short ageing in tank on fine lees for more complexity. The wine is then filtered and cold stabilised before bottling.

Staff review - “This rose is a bit more interesting than your usual pink wine, which is what excites me about it. It is lively and fun, extremely easy drinking but at the same time has enough texture and structure to enjoy with food.”
