Quinta de Couselo
A noble, intense and elegant wine. Perfect paired with a wide range of dishes and fusion cooking. It expresses the singularity of the O Rosal region and its blend of varieties.
Tasting Notes
Bright, lemon yellow with greenish tints. Fresh citric sensations (lemon, clementine). Subtle aromas of fresh flowers (white rose petals, jasmine, orange blossom). Enveloping balsamic aromas (bayleaf, pine). Notes of aromatic mountain herbs (lemon thyme). Fresh and well balanced. Creamy fruit and floral sensations with a minerality that gives way to salinity.
