Vera Vinho Verde Rosé Wine 2022 – Refreshing Portuguese Pink Wine

Producer: Vera
Region: Vinho Verde, Portugal
Blend: 80% Rabo de Anho & 20% Vinhão
Year: 2022

Since pioneering Portugal’s first Vinho Verde Rosé in 1991, Vera has redefined what this region can offer with this vibrant pink wine. Crafted from a distinctive blend of Rabo de Anho (80%)—a rare Portuguese grape known for its crisp acidity and refreshing lightness—and Vinhão (20%), which contributes its signature deep hue thanks to its red pulp variety (tinturier), this wine balances elegance with approachable summer charm.

Imagine sipping a glass that captures the essence of a sunny afternoon: floral aromas mingle with bright strawberry and watermelon flavors, delivering a lively yet smooth finish. Perfect for warm weather gatherings or casual dining, this Vinho Verde DOC Rosé is designed to elevate moments of relaxation. Its moderate 12% alcohol makes it an ideal companion to seafood dishes, light salads, or simply enjoyed poolside as a crisp refresher.

What sets this wine apart is its heritage and uniqueness. While most Vinho Verde wines are white or sparkling, Vera’s bold innovation in creating this style over three decades ago ensures you’re tasting something truly special from Portugal’s coastal region. The blend’s floral freshness paired with subtle red fruit complexity offers a refreshing alternative to heavier rosés—a standout choice for those seeking a light-bodied pink wine with character.

Whether you’re planning a picnic under the sun or looking for a versatile option for your next dinner party, this 2022 vintage Vera Rosé delivers consistent quality and style. A rare find due to its limited production and use of hard-to-source Rabo de Anho grapes, it’s a testament to Portugal’s winemaking ingenuity.
