Buçaco Rosé 2020

At the beginning of the 19th century, one of the most interesting chapters of Portuguese Wine was born, a wine that would become an icon, an object of desire, but which was always kept, by its own will, out of the spotlight. Its creator, Alexandre de Almeida, imported the concept of combining luxury hospitality with a winery and its own wine. Thus were born the great Wines of Buçaco. Looking back, from its first harvests, we understand the importance of this icon, which was served to kings, queens, and heads of state, as evidenced by the menus proudly kept at the Hotel Palace Bussaco. The wines of Buçaco were indeed objects of worship, limited to very closed circles, the elite. The Buçaco wines were, and still are, always vinified in the same way, with the same old principles. Their "blend" from the Dão and Bairrada regions thus guaranteed a brilliant wine that evolved nobly in the bottle, and their fantastic and noble labels, which still maintain to this day the symbol of their pedigree, their lineage. Drinking a Buçaco is traveling through time, it is drinking a glorious wine created by Alexandre Almeida, a visionary. This is an opportunity that all who appreciate Wine should have, even if only once in their life.
