NV Offley Rosé Porto

[Stewart T.]

• NV Offley Rosé Porto - Portugal, Douro, Porto
  Tasted blind in black glasses. The nose opens light and fresh, with notes of kiwi, lime zest, and a faint floral lift—leaning more toward the profile of a youthful White Port than anything else. On the palate, it’s bright and slightly sweet, with flavors of green melon, citrus, and a touch of peach. The texture is clean, with modest acidity and no heat or rough edges. On reveal, this turns out to be a Rosé Port—unexpected, as many Rosés I’ve tasted tend to show more overt spirit on the palate, which this one notably avoids. (88 pts.)
