The Aliestre ONE Rosé stands for the modern, fruit-driven side of Portugal: juicy, clean and wonderfully approachable – and here it comes as a generous 1.5-litre Magnum for convivial occasions.
Taste
Colour: Delicate, salmon-pink rosé.
Nose: Aromas of strawberries, redcurrants and a hint of citrus zest.
Palate: Fresh and straightforward, with a juicy core of fruit, fine spice and lively acidity. The finish is clean, dry and pleasantly light-footed.
Production
The grapes – a cuvée of Aragonez and Touriga Nacional – come from Estremoz in the Alto Alentejo, from limestone and marble soils. Fermentation is cool and temperature-controlled, and maturation in stainless steel tanks keeps the focus firmly on freshness rather than woody notes. Drink now and over the next 1–2 years – freshness takes centre stage.
Pairs with
- Seafood: prawns, grilled fish, calamari, fish tacos
- Mediterranean: antipasti, bruschetta, Provençal vegetables, Niçoise salad
- Asian cuisine (mild): summer rolls, sushi bowls, fried rice with vegetables
- Summer pasta: pasta al limone, tomato & basil, light cream sauces
- Starters & finger food: tapas, goat's cheese, hummus, olives, quiche
It harmonises particularly well with herbs such as basil, thyme and coriander, as well as with lemon and fresh vegetables. Serving temperature 8–10 °C, ideally in a large glass for more fragrance and structure.
In context
Aliestre Vineyards is a young wine project centred on the Quinta da Esperança in Estremoz, backed by a group of wine lovers from Berlin. At its heart is the distinctive terroir of the Alto Alentejo with its limestone, schist and marble soils. The ONE Rosé shows the approachable, modern side of this estate – as a Magnum, a statement for conviviality without losing any precision.
