A clear rosé, slightly sparkling and a young, fresh and fruity aroma. A semi-dry rosé wine that has to be drunk young and brings in the summer.
The Portuguese ambassador to the world, Gatão – a brand created during the beginning of the last century – is present in around 50 countries of the five continents. Gatão owes its designation to a small village of the same name, where the grapes come from. As a result of increased sales, the origin of the grapes diversified. During that time, the publication of a law obliged the brand's designation to coincide with the designation of a production region, only using grapes from this region, which resulted in finding another justification for the name by those taking the lead at the time. Having in mind that the brand was already highly integrated into the market, Gatão became, not the grape designation of origin, but a "big cat".
Today, as a result of the new values it has been associated with, Gatão has a more modern, young, and fresh image that represents the youthfulness of the "Fresh Generation". As a result of its history and the conquests achieved throughout time, Gatão continues to be a Vinho Verde of reference
