Offley Rosé Port from Cima Corgo, Portugal, is a vibrant Rosé Fortified and Sweet wine crafted from Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, and Tinta Barroca grapes. It undergoes a brief maceration on the skins before fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats, preserving freshness. Fortification with grape spirit halts fermentation, retaining natural sugars. Unoaked, it remains in stainless steel until bottling, ensuring vibrant fruit flavours. It bursts with aromas of ripe strawberries, raspberries, and redcurrants. The palate reveals a perfect balance of sweetness and refreshing acidity, leading to juicy fruit flavours and a crisp, elegant finish. Excellent as an aperitif or with fruit-based desserts.
75.0CL , 19.5% ABV
Vinification
Upon arrival at the winery, the hand-picked grapes are destemmed, gently crushed and pressed. Unlike other Ports which undergo a vigorous treading on the skins to extract colour and tannin, there is only a very brief maceration on the skins before the juice is racked off the skins and then fermented in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats to preserve freshness. The ferment is closely monitored to determine the ideal moment to halt the fermentation by fortification with grape spirit, leaving some of the grapes' natural sugars. The Offley Rosé Port is unoaked and remains in stainless-steel until bottling, again to preserve the vibrancy and freshness of the fruit flavours.
Flavour profile
This Rosé Port offers a vibrant and fresh experience, bursting with aromas of ripe strawberries, raspberries, and redcurrants. On the palate, its delightful sweetness is beautifully balanced by a refreshing acidity, leading to a crisp and elegant finish with juicy fruit flavours.
Serving recommendation
Serve chilled at 12-14°C to best enjoy its vibrant fruit and refreshing acidity.
