Fado (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈfaðu], "destiny, fate") is a music genre which can be traced to the 1820s in Portugal, but probably with much earlier origins. Here at Roxbury Wine and Spirits, it also means delicious summer wines for quaffing!! Just like Fado music, these wines are both traditional and representative of the pleasures of Portuguese eating and drinking. Fado White is a blend of three Portuguese grapes: Siria 34%, Arinto 33% and Viognier 33%. Together they produce a wine with nice minerality blended with tropical fruits, very smooth and extremely refreshing! Fado Rose is 50/50 Aragonez and Touriga Nacional (which is widely considered to be Portugal's finest grape). These two grapes combine to produce a dry rose with just a touch of fruit and a pleasant finish. Both are available by the bottle or a discounted case. Mix and match!
