TODOS Colheita Rosé is a single-varietal rosé made from 100% Baga grapes, produced by Casa dos Amados (winemaker: Osvaldo Amado, often called “the father of Baga in Portugal”) in the Bairrada D.O.C. region of Portugal. It highlights the Baga variety’s potential for elegant, fresh rosés rather than just its famous reds.
- Style and characteristics: Pale to salmon pink color. The aroma is fresh and fruity, with prominent notes of red fruits (raspberry, wild strawberry, strawberry), sometimes white/red mature fruits, floral hints, and herbal touches. On the palate, it is vibrant, enveloping, fruity, fresh, with refreshing acidity, good balance, a creamy texture in some vintages, and a long, lively finish. It is dry, medium-bodied, and very approachable/easy-drinking.
- Production notes: From selected harvests (“colheita” means harvest), it emphasizes Bairrada’s terroir for crisp, elegant rosés. Winemaking focuses on preserving freshness and fruit purity (gentle handling, controlled fermentation). Recent vintages include 2022, 2023, and 2024.
- Alcohol content: Typically 12.5%.
- Serving: Serve chilled at 8–10°C.
- Pairing: Its bright acidity and red fruit profile pair excellently with seafood, salads, lighter meats, grilled fish, Portuguese charcuterie, or as an aperitif—versatile for summer or year-round enjoyment.
This rosé showcases Baga’s versatility beyond sparkling or red wines, offering a must-have fresh, vibrant expression for rosé lovers. It receives positive mentions for its deliciousness, freshness, and quality from the producer’s Bairrada expertise. Recent vintages (e.g., 2024) are widely available and praised for their drinkability
