✨ Technical Specifications
The JP Azeitão Syrah Rosé is a vibrant expression of the Península de Setúbal's unique terroir, where the warm Mediterranean climate is tempered by cool Atlantic breezes sweeping over the nearby Serra da Arrábida. Crafted by the historic Bacalhôa estate, this rosé showcases the adaptability of the Syrah grape to the region's sandy and clay-limestone soils. The wine is produced using modern, temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel to preserve its bright red fruit aromatics and crisp, refreshing acidity. The JP range pays homage to João Pires, the historic founder of the winery in 1922, bridging the estate's rich winemaking heritage with a contemporary, easy-drinking style that captures the relaxed, coastal lifestyle of southern Portugal.
