Unique Character of the Tejo, Alluvial Terroir, and Dry Profile
The Tyto Alba Rosé Wine DO Tejo 750 ml is a sophisticated and modern proposal created by the renowned winery Lua Cheia em Vinhas Velhas in the prolific DO Tejo designation of origin, Portugal. With a strictly dry gastronomic classification, this rosé was born out of a commitment to the environment and the protection of the barn owl (Tyto alba) that inhabits the vineyards. Made from selected grapes like Touriga Nacional and Syrah grown on rich, permeable alluvial soils, it undergoes short skin maceration and low-temperature fermentation. It stands out for its attractive, Provençal-style pale color, intense aromas of wild strawberries, raspberries, and floral notes, complemented by crisp acidity and an extremely refined finish.
