Tasting Notes

Light pink colour, with a touch of cherry and very intense nose of ripened strawberry, paired with black pepper and iodine notes. It has a surprising texture and salty but fresh mouth, with the salt teasing the palate. It is a Volcanic Rosé.

Critical Praise

92 points David Lawrason (Wine Align)
"Here's a lovely, dry, very pretty rose with subtle, complex aromas of strawberry/redcurrant and vague minerality. Flavours become more amplified on the palate where great acidity and some salty tang kick in. It is medium weight, dry, very even and firm, almost lively and spritzed, with stony/earthiness on the finish. The length is excellent."

91 points Michael Godel (Wine Align)
"Basaltic, marine-derived and the salts that combine from volcanics and seas are the fabric and the thread that ties this Portuguese Rosé together. Ripping blush with teeth bared and bites guaranteed though it’s all for show because in the end the texture runs plush and the enjoyability factor high. Kinda like the proverbial wolf in sheep’s clothing. Drink 2020-2022. Tasted May 2020." -
