Origin & Production:
Cruz Pink Rosé is a modern expression of Port wine, crafted in the Douro Valley, Portugal, by the prestigious Porto Cruz house. Made from traditional red grape varieties such as Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, and Touriga Franca, the wine undergoes a short, cool maceration to extract a delicate pink hue and fresh fruit aromas before fortification with grape brandy. It is aged briefly in stainless steel to preserve its vibrant color and youthful, aromatic character.

Tasting Notes:
Displaying a luminous pink-rose shade, it opens with enticing aromas of red berries, including strawberries, raspberries, and cranberries, layered with subtle floral notes of rose petals and hints of tropical fruit. On the palate, it is light, crisp, and elegantly sweet, with flavors of fresh strawberry, cherry, and pomegranate balanced by refreshing acidity. The texture is smooth and lively, leading to a clean, fruity finish that invites another sip.

Serving Suggestion:
Serve well-chilled at 6–8 °C to highlight its freshness. Enjoy as an aperitif on its own, or pair it with light summer dishes such as fresh salads, grilled shrimp, or fruit platters. For a contemporary cocktail, mix Cruz Pink with tonic water, ice, and a garnish of fresh berries or citrus peel for a refreshing, visually striking drink that’s perfect for warm afternoons and celebrations.
