Production of the 0% Original Syrah Rosé - José Maria da Fonseca

The grapes for 0% Original Syrah Rosé - José Maria da Fonseca come from selected sites in Portugal, shaped by a Mediterranean climate with Atlantic influence. Warm, sunny days promote the ripening of the Syrah grapes, while cooler nights preserve freshness and aromatic precision. The soils consist of a mixture of clay, limestone and sandy components, which lend the wine fine minerality and clear structure.

Harvesting is carried out with a focus on aromatic intensity and balanced acidity. The grapes are quickly brought to the winery, where gentle processing begins. For the rosé style, the contact between skins and must is deliberately kept short so that the color appears delicately rosé and the tannins remain fine and restrained. This creates the brilliant salmon hue that sparkles in the glass and visually announces the fruity character.

The must undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks, allowing the fresh fruit aromas of raspberry, red currant and blueberry to fully develop. Stainless steel prevents disturbing aromas and supports the clear, modern style of the wine. After alcoholic fermentation, a particularly careful step follows: dealcoholization. Using a gentle process, the producer removes the alcohol while preserving the aromatic profile. The result is an alcohol-free rosé with authentic character and typical Syrah fruit.

Maturation in tank preserves the crisp texture and radiant freshness. Wood is deliberately not used, so that neither roasted aromas nor additional tannins influence the fruity lightness. The style of the José Maria da Fonseca estate clearly focuses on precision, purity of fruit and drinking pleasure. Every step in the vineyard and cellar aims at a rosé that is intense on the nose, clear on the palate and stimulating on the finish.

Before filling into the modern Burgundy bottle, careful clarification and filtration take place. This way, the wine presents itself brilliantly in the glass, free from suspended matter and ready for unclouded enjoyment. The Stelvin screw cap guarantees freshness and aromatic stability, while at the same time making it easy to open, whether at the dining table, on a picnic or on the terrace.

For storage, a cool, light-protected place without major temperature fluctuations is suitable. The bottle is ideally stored lying down or standing, away from intense odors. This way, the wine’s aromatic profile is preserved for an appropriate period of time.
