Acidity

Level 4 of 5 — Lively and mouth-watering – like grapefruit

In line with typical (3.8) · Typical: average of 58 rosés at Vinogrande

What it is

Acidity is the wine's freshness: it gives energy, makes your mouth water and helps the wine age. Too little and it tastes flat; too much and it feels sharp.

Where you feel it

On the sides of your tongue, and in how much your mouth waters after you swallow. The more you salivate, the higher the acidity.

How we set this level

For this wine, the level comes from: Vinogrande's tasting notes and wine description.

Labs measure total acidity (grams of tartaric acid per litre; most wines sit between 4.5 and 8 g/L) and pH (usually 3.0 to 3.8; the lower, the more acidic). Our scale turns that into how it feels in the mouth.

The 1–5 scale follows the WSET tasting grid. We start from the producer's technical sheet and Vinogrande's tasting notes, plus measured data where it exists, such as the alcohol on the label. Only when that is missing do we use the typical profile of the style, region or grapes, and we say so.

The 1–5 scale

  1. 1Low: soft, little freshness
  2. 2Medium−: gentle
  3. 3Medium: fresh and balanced
  4. 4Medium+: lively, mouth-watering This wine
  5. 5High: crisp, racy

In practice, for this wine

Cuts through fat and salt: oily fish, fried food, goat's cheese, lemony dishes. Serve well chilled.

Body

Level 5 of 5 — Full and dense – like double cream

What it is

Body is the weight and texture of the wine in your mouth. It comes mainly from alcohol, extract (everything dissolved apart from water), glycerol and, in sweet wines, sugar.

Where you feel it

Across the whole tongue: how much the wine fills your mouth. Think skimmed milk, whole milk and cream.

How we set this level

For this wine, the level comes from: Vinogrande's tasting notes and wine description.

There is no single number for body. Labs measure dry extract (many wines are between 18 and 30 g/L) and alcohol, which WSET says has the biggest effect on body. Our scale rates the weight in the mouth.

The 1–5 scale follows the WSET tasting grid. We start from the producer's technical sheet and Vinogrande's tasting notes, plus measured data where it exists, such as the alcohol on the label. Only when that is missing do we use the typical profile of the style, region or grapes, and we say so.

The 1–5 scale

  1. 1Light: fluid and delicate
  2. 2Medium−: light-ish
  3. 3Medium: rounded
  4. 4Medium+: broad
  5. 5Full: dense and rich This wine

In practice, for this wine

For intense dishes: oven roasts, game, stews, strong cheese. A large glass helps it open.

Wine profile · Rosé

Tannin

Level 1 of 5 — Silky – almost no grip

In line with typical (1.1) · Typical: average of 62 rosés at Vinogrande

What it is

Tannins come from grape skins, seeds and oak. They give red wines structure and ageing potential, and soften with time.

Where you feel it

On your gums, inside your cheeks and on your teeth: that rough, drying feel, like after strong black tea.

How we set this level

For this wine, the level comes from: the typical profile of this type of wine (WSET), as we have no specific data. Estimate

Labs measure total polyphenols (the TPI index), but that figure is rarely published. Our scale rates the amount and texture of the tannins in the mouth.

The 1–5 scale follows the WSET tasting grid. We start from the producer's technical sheet and Vinogrande's tasting notes, plus measured data where it exists, such as the alcohol on the label. Only when that is missing do we use the typical profile of the style, region or grapes, and we say so.

The 1–5 scale

  1. 1Low: silky This wine
  2. 2Medium−: soft
  3. 3Medium: present
  4. 4Medium+: firm
  5. 5High: robust

In practice, for this wine

Good with fish and light dishes; it can be served a little cooler.

Wine profile · Rosé

Alcohol

Level 2 of 5 — Moderate – a gentle warmth

Below typical (2.9) · Typical: average of 62 rosés at Vinogrande

What it is

Alcohol is made when yeast ferments the grape's sugar. It brings warmth, adds to the body and carries the aromas.

Where you feel it

As warmth in your throat and chest when you swallow, and a slight burn on the nose when it is high.

How we set this level

For this wine, the level comes from: the alcohol stated on the label.

It is the one axis that is always measured: it comes from the % vol on the label. Still and sparkling wines: under 11% = 1, up to 12.4% = 2, up to 13.4% = 3, up to 14.4% = 4, 14.5% or more = 5. Fortified wines (Port, Madeira…) have their own scale: under 16.5% = 2, up to 18.4% = 3, up to 19.9% = 4, 20% or more = 5.

Description

Producer: Quinta do Regueiro
Vintage: 2020
ABV: 12%
Grapes: Alvarinho, Trajadura, Alvarelhão and Vinhão
Bottle: 750 ml
Winemaker: Paulo Cerdeira Rodrigues and Jorge Sousa Pinto

Description:


Quinta do Regueiro has been cementing its distinctive quality stamp in the Vinho Verde region; it's the producer I've followed most closely, a regular buyer of its Alvarinhos, Barricas and Primitivo, and I'd like to be able to have more of Jurássico, one of Portugal's great whites.

Recently the producer released something new, a rosé in time for the summer season, the Quinta do Regueiro Rosé 2020. But don't think linking this wine to summer is a negative — this is a serious wine with the backbone of a good white. Light salmon in colour, it shows a faint spritz at first in the glass and bottle, which doesn't bother and disappears quickly with air. As you'd expect in a rosé, the nose shows touches of fresh red fruit, not too pronounced, just enough, with some citrus freshness in the background. On the palate it has plenty of grip, mainly from good acidity and a mineral feel that at times reminds me of a white, with good volume and presence and a dry, mouth-watering finish.

A newcomer I liked, aiming to be an appealing rosé for those who enjoy good wine at the table with summer food, rather than a refreshing sangria. The wine is a blend of the region's typical grapes, red and white: Vinhão, Alvarelhão, Alvarinho and Trajadura.

Nose
Great complexity, with red fruit to the fore.

Palate
A very full-bodied wine, with volume and lots of freshness.

Food pairing
Some meats, fish and assorted seafood
