2024 Herdade do Sobroso Cellar Selection Rose

The 2024 Herdade do Sobroso Cellar Selection Rosé is a fresh, modern expression of Alentejo crafted for those who appreciate precision, elegance, and vibrant fruit. Sourced from estate vineyards in Portugal’s sun-drenched Alentejo region, it brings together bright aromatics and a polished, dry finish that makes it as versatile as it is enjoyable. As part of the Cellar Selection range, this rosé highlights Herdade do Sobroso’s focus on quality-driven, terroir-reflective wines at an approachable level.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2024 Cellar Selection Rosé typically shows a delicate, luminous pink hue, hinting at its fresh and youthful style. The nose is expressive and inviting, with notes you can expect from quality Alentejo rosé: ripe red berries such as strawberry and raspberry, subtle citrus tones, and a gentle floral lift. Underneath, a faint mineral edge adds a sense of refinement and balance. On the palate, this is a dry, refreshing rosé with crisp acidity and a silky texture that carries flavors of red currant, wild berries, and a touch of citrus zest. The fruit is pure and clean, framed by a subtle savory note that keeps the wine interesting from first sip to finish. Medium-bodied and well-structured, it’s crafted for immediate enjoyment in its youth, with its vibrancy and primary fruit at their best within the first 1–2 years from vintage.

Production
Herdade do Sobroso lies in the heart of the Alentejo, where warm days, cool nights, and well-drained soils combine to produce grapes with excellent ripeness and concentration. The estate carefully selects parcels best suited for rosé production, harvesting the grapes in the cooler hours of the day to preserve aromatics and natural acidity. In the cellar, the fruit is gently pressed with limited skin contact to achieve the desired pale color and delicate structure, followed by cool fermentation in stainless steel to lock in freshness, purity of fruit, and a clean, modern style without overt oak influence.

Food & Serving
The 2024 Herdade do Sobroso Cellar Selection Rosé is an ideal companion to Mediterranean and Portuguese-inspired dishes, from fresh salads, seafood, grilled prawns, and charcuterie to lighter poultry dishes and herb-marinated vegetables. It also works beautifully as an aperitif alongside canapés and soft, mild cheeses. Serve well-chilled, around 8–10°C (46–50°F), to highlight its crispness and aromatics. Decanting is not necessary; simply open and pour, allowing the wine a few minutes in the glass to fully express its fruit and floral notes.
