| Poças Porto Rosé |
| Written by Nick Breeze | |
 Drinking Róse is often (but not always) a no man’s land for me. It’s a place I go to but up on arrival I question the validity of my desire. Give me the mouth watering sharpness of a Mosel reisling or the buxom scents of a sassy syrah and I’m all over in it in a frenzy! Róse wine however, seldom arouses such excitement.So when I received a bottle of róse port to taste recently I conceded to the novel appeal and left the actual tasting to due course. Then mark my twinkling eyes and pursed puckering lips when, to my surprise the róse port was a complex and sumptuously fruity hit. The bright pink colour is accompanied by a nose of unmistakable fortified quality. I very much enjoyed the fruity complexity of flavours lingering on my palate. They’re nothing short of addictive (& not just to an old soak like me!), the richness and strength in alcohol parrying the cubic volume of the bottle (50cl). Róse port is perfect for fine picnics, aperitifs, chilling to the side of your nightclub tabletop, or simply supping and succouring after a couple of light courses on a late summer evening!
