Arvid Rosengren, bedste sommelier i verden 2016:

This may look like a rosé but it really isn’t at all. Instead, it is a Palhete, a traditional style of making wine in northern Portugal, where red and white grapes are pressed together to make a lightly colored, lightly structured wine that defies being put into a box. Especially when in Vasco Croft’s rendition it is fermented with the skins in bee-wax lined amphora. Maybe, but the result speaks for itself - savoury and refreshing (only 11% alcohol) and mouthwatering. It should be “funky” and it does have a depth of aromas that go far beyond the simply fruity, but it is clean and pure. A fantastic way to start a meal with salty bites, or save for the first real spring day when you crave something pink but want to go beyond the pedestrian rosé.
