What to eat with it
Which wine goes with sushi?
Pale, dry and with a hint of cherry: a rosé that lets the fish speak.
Which wine goes with salad?
Citrus and freshness stand up to a sharp dressing that flattens most reds.
Which wine goes with snacks and nibbles?
Mezze, tapas, olives: dry enough for the salt, fruity enough for hummus and grilled vegetables.
Which wine goes with fish?
Baked or grilled fish with herbs. More volume than the pale colour suggests.
Which wine makes a good aperitif?
Pale, dry and elegant: the bottle for an evening that could go anywhere.
Why Varna and Nelson chose this
Why we chose this
Varna & Nelson: “Alentejo is known for power. This rosé chooses restraint and wins because of it. Stubborn, like us.”
