| Wine maker notes |
| Production Area: The grapes for this wine are sourced from Azeitão, Portugal.
Grape Varieties: A variety of the best Portuguese grapes.
Vinification: Red grapes are fermented apart from their skins at a temperature of approximately 60ºF. The wine then undergoes a process known as “continuous method” which provides Lancers Rose with its touch of effervescence. In the process, the wine is filtered, cold stabilized, and then a small quantity of naturally sweet grape juice and yeast is added. The wine then passes through a series of stainless steel tanks at 65ºF and an atmospheric pressure of 4.5 Bars for a period of eight days while the secondary fermentation is completed. Prior to bottling, additional fresh grape juice is added to ensure the desired level of sweetness, followed by a final finishing filtration.

| Other text |
| Lancers was launched in 1944 after Henry Behar visited Portugal with the purpose of finding a rosé wine that would appeal to the American palate. The wine was named Lancers in tribute to the painting “Las Lanzas” by Velasquez, a favorite of Mr. Behar. In addition to this lively, aromatic rosé, Lancers offers a fun, refreshing white wine. Both are made from a variety of carefully selected Portuguese grapes. |
| Food pairing |
| Serve alone or paired with a variety of foods. Lancers goes very well with light meals, Oriental cuisine or even spicy foods such as Mexican cuisine. Should be served well chilled.
