An elegant rosé for all seasons, the Roxanich Portorose is made out of the indigenous grape varieties Borgonja Istriana and Teran.
The Roxanich Portorose is a dry rosé with aspects of complex fruit and herbs, and a light tannic grip on the palate, medium acid in its body, and an intense taste from the first sip.
Although the Roxanich Portorose started its voyage as a simple rosé refreshment for the warmer months, it has since matured into a wine that can be enjoyed year-round for a refreshing reminder of summer.
