Vinho Verde, Portugal
Gazela is a Portuguese rosé, comparable to the fruity, nose-tickling effervescence of the New Age Rosé. This is a really fun, easy-drinking wine. The grapes in Gazela are the same as those typically used to make port. Unlike the other rosés, Gazela is produced like a white varietal, and the juice has no skin contact. I wouldn't consider this to be a food wine; instead, simply drink this on its own and enjoy its bright fruitiness and sweetness. Gazela is the least expensive of the lot, retailing for about $7 (good news, because it is VERY easy to drink). With only 10% alcohol content and a low price, you might want to grab a second bottle right away.
