Rose Pom-Pom is one of the Great Rosé Wines of the World 2024
12/08/2024In the top 50 best rosé wines in the world for 2024 by ‘Wine Pleasures’ is the Rose Pom-Pom 2023 from Casa Relvas, a rosé wine resulting from years of viticultural work, various vineyard and winery experiments, and a strong desire from the Casa Relvas team to produce a top-tier rosé that conveys the terroir where these grapes grow through its aromas and flavors.
The results of the 2024 edition of the ‘50 Great Rosé Wines of the World’ competition demonstrate a constant evolution in rosé wines. This year’s judging panel conducted a blind tasting of wines from various countries—Portugal, France, Spain, Italy, Serbia, among many others—focusing primarily on quality, as price was not a selection criterion. The range of colors among the winning wines was also very interesting. From the lightest onion skin to vibrant salmon pink, the rosés in the competition reflect the uniqueness of the grape varieties and the winemaking processes used in their production.
The “50 Great Rosé Wines of the World” awards reinforce that rosé is increasingly not just a summer drink but a serious category with much to offer all palates. This year’s results celebrate not only the quality of the wines but also the diversity of styles, regions, and grape varieties.
Produced at the foot of Serra do Mendro, in Vidigueira, on clay-limestone soils, this wine is the result of years of viticultural work, various vineyard and winery experiments, culminating in the result that the Alentejo producer now presents. The new rosé, which aged 10% for four months in French oak barrels, was made from the Aragonez, Touriga Nacional, and Syrah grape varieties.
With a light pink color with salmon hues, Casa Relvas Rose Pom-Pom has fresh aromas of red fruits and citrus, and on the palate, it is intense, engaging, and fresh, with considerable creaminess and minerality. With the warm weather approaching, it is recommended to accompany it with grilled fish, seafood, sushi, and salads, and above all, with good company!
