We're on a constant quest for a rosé wine that is fun and full of character without being sweet, but this one might have ended it (and all it took was a cross-Iberia collaboration!)

La Galaxia is the fruit of a partnership between Portuguese viticulturist Alvaro Castro and Fento Wines's Eulogio Pomares. Fento is a family business based in Galicia, Spain who seek the help of likeminded growers in the region and beyond to create wines that are rational, sustainable, and completely original. This Portuguese rosé from Castro's vineyard Quinta da Pellada in the demarcated region of Dão features a blend of organic grown native varietal grapes.

Alfrocheiro, Tinta Roriz and Baga were picked by hand and de-stemmed before direct pressing.
Controlled fermentation and several weeks aging takes place in cool stainless steel vats to preserve freshness before bottling without fining or filtration. This pale rosé is everything we were looking for: zesty, a little bit floral and a hint of salinity that denies any sweetness.
