Dancing Grapes 2024 is the uncomplicated, dry rosé from the Alto Alentejo – a lively cuvée of Touriga Nacional and Aragonez that delivers exactly what the name promises: two grape varieties dancing with each other in the glass.
Taste
Colour: Pale, clear rosé.
Nose & Palate: Fresh, fruity and uncomplicated, with a lively, moreish character. Made in a dry style (residual sugar 0.2 g/l) with a noticeable, well-integrated acidity (5.3 g/l total acidity, pH 3.5) – which makes for easy drinking without heaviness.
Production
The grapes come from Quinta da Esperança near Estremoz in the Alto Alentejo, at an altitude of around 450 m – a site with limestone and marble soils that gives the estate's wines their characteristic freshness. The producer gives no specific information on the maturation or the optimum drinking window of this cuvée – we deliberately give no details here that cannot be substantiated.
Pairs with
As an uncomplicated, dry rosé, it is a versatile companion: light salads, Mediterranean starters, grilled white meat or fish, and also on its own as an aperitif. Serving temperature approx. 8–10 °C.
