Rosy: A Broad from Abroad

Pretty in pink, this cheeky little lass has spunk and attitude. No girly wine, she challenges anything on a plate. And wins. Meet QG Espadeiro Rosé, winner of a gold medal at the 2010 Vinho Verde competition in Portugal.

Crafted by roving winemaker António Sousa for Quinta de Gomariz from 100% Espadeiro, an indigenous red varietal, this perfectly-made, perfectly-delicious, rosé tempts with fruit and floral perfumes then follows with more fruit, a solid minerality and a whack of acidity that makes her vibrant and alive. She has a dry sense of humour and a long and satisfying finish. She likes to be taken out for pizza, loves steak and ribs from the barbecue and has nothing but complements for fish and salad. QG Rosé is a go-to wine.

The trouble is that you have to go to Salt Lake City, Utah (no joke, but sounds like one) to find her as it is the only place in North America where she is sold. Quinta de Gomariz
