Description
Experience the exquisite taste of Offley Rosé Port, a delightful blend crafted from premium Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, and Tinta Barroca grapes sourced from the scenic Cima Corgo region of Portugal. This exquisite rosé port, bottled in a 75 CL format, offers a vibrant pink hue and an enticing bouquet that captures the essence of ripe strawberries, juicy raspberries, and bright redcurrants, layered with zesty hints of kiwi and lime peel.
The careful vinification process preserves the wine's natural sweetness and fruity characteristics. Hand-picked grapes undergo gentle crushing, followed by a brief skin maceration. The fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats, ensuring that the refreshing flavors are retained, culminating in a balanced, sweet profile complemented by an invigorating acidity.
On the palate, indulge in:
- A harmonious mix of juicy red berries and subtle tropical fruits
- A smooth, lightly sweet experience elevated by vibrant acidity
- A crisp, elegant finish that lingers with delightful sweetness and warmth
For optimal enjoyment, serve chilled at a temperature of 8-10°C in a large balloon glass. This revitalizing port pairs beautifully with a variety of culinary delights:
- Spicy seafood dishes, such as chili lime shrimp tacos, which balance sweetness with a kick
- A refreshing dessert wine over lemon or lime sorbet in a martini glass
- Rich soft cheeses like chèvre or mascarpone, elegantly adorned with honey and crushed pistachios
- A summer brunch cocktail blended with peach puree and garnished with edible flowers
This Offley Rosé Port stands as a versatile choice for both casual sipping and sophisticated gatherings, sure to elevate any occasion with its lively, fruit-forward profile and impressive complexity. Treat yourself to a glass of this exceptional wine and relish in a unique tasting experience that encapsulates the essence of Portugal's finest vineyards.

Storage advice
For optimal storage of Port:
- Temperature: Keep bottles at a steady cool temperature between 12–18°C (55–65°F) to avoid expansion and contraction that can damage the cork and degrade the wine.
- Light Exposure: Store in complete darkness or in a place with no direct sunlight as light can negatively affect the quality and flavor.
- Sealing: Since Port bottles are cork-sealed maintain humidity around 70% to prevent corks from drying out and shrinking which could allow air ingress.
- Bottle Position: Store cork-sealed bottles lying on their side to keep the cork moist from the inside. If there is a stopper or T-top closure store upright.
- Humidity: Aim for approximately 70% relative humidity to preserve cork integrity without causing mold or label damage. Avoid excessive moisture that harms packaging.
- Additional Tips: Avoid vibrations that may accelerate leakage and disturb sediment. Keep Port away from strong odors since corks can absorb them.
For opened bottles it is best to reseal tightly and store in the refrigerator consuming within a few weeks to preserve freshness as Port is more susceptible to oxidation once opened. For long-term storage maintain the same cool dark and humid environment as unopened bottles.
These practices help preserve the quality and extend shelf life for both unopened and opened Port.
