Pinking

Since the year 2000, wine experts in Portugal were intrigued by a white vine variety, Síria - which is in fact one the most important white vine varieties in Beira Interior wine region - that generated salmon-coloured wines, specifically in the sub-region of Castelo Rodrigo. What at first looked like a mystery was later explained by wine-maker Jenny Silva. Pinking is the name of this fascinating wine category. Unique in the world.
