Product Description

Overview

Winery: Encostas do Lima

Lima Vinho Verde Rose is made from 75% Souzao, 15% Borraal and 10% Espadeiro. It is a blend of 75% Souzao (same as Vinhao), 15% Borraal (which is also known as Caino Tinto) and 10% Espadeiro: Souzo (or Souso or Vinho) is a Portuguese wine grape that is used in the production of port wine. While originating in the Minho regions, it is used primarily in Australia, California and South Africa. In Portugal, it is also an authorized planting in the Douro, and Do-Lafes area (Vinho do Do). The grape is known for the deep it produces in a wine as well as its coarse and raisiny taste. Caio tinto (also known as Borraal) is a red Galician wine grape variety that is also grown in Portugal's Vinho Verde wine region where it is known as Borraal. In Spain, it is a permitted variety in the Denominacin de Origens (DOs) of Ras Baixas and Ribeiro where it produces highly perfumed wines with noticeable tartness and high acidity. Espadeiro is a red Portuguese wine grape planted primarily in the Minho region for making Vinho Verde. It is also grown across the border, in Spain, in Galicia where it is used to make light bodied wines.
