Upon the rolling hills in Portugal, the sun casts a golden glow over the vineyards where the scent of ripe fruits is hanging in the air is where you will find the wonderful grape variety- Perrum, soaking up the essence of the terroir and translating it into every single drop of wine that is produced from this grape variety!
Perrum, which is also known as Perruno or Perrum de Jerez, traces its roots all the way back to the vineyards of Spain, particularly in the Andalusian region. This wonderful, ancient grape variety has been cultivated for centuries, thriving in the warm Mediterranean climate and limestone-rich soils of southern spain.
Historically, Perrum has been primarily associated with the production of so many fortified wines, particularly in the renowned sherry-producing region of Jerez. Its resilience to harsh conditions and ability to retain acidity even in hot climates have made it a flavoured choice among winners seeking to create robust and complex wines.
Perrum Grape Variety Characteristics
Now, let’s talk about taste. Perrum wines often boast a vibrant array of flavours- think luscious tropical fruits just like pineapple and passionfruit, intertwined with zesty citrus notes and a hint of floral sweetness. It’s like a symphony of flavours on your plate, each sip revealing a whole new type of melody of flavours.
But what’s a great wine without some equally delectable food to pair it with? Fear not, fellow foodies, for Perrum wines are incredibly versatile. For a light and refreshing match, try pairing it with a seafood dish or salad, the crisp acidity of the wine perfectly complimenting the delicate flavours of the ocean. Feeling a bit more indulgent? Why not opt for a creamy risotto topped with chicken and a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese- the rich, buttery texture of the dish harmonising beautifully with the wine’s fruit-forward profile.
And let us not forget dessert! Perrum wines can hold their own against even the sweetest of treats. Pair a chilled glass with a slice of tangy lemon tart or a decadent passionfruit cheesecake for a main match in dessert heaven! So the next time you are pursuing the wine aisle or planning a dinner party, don’t overlook this hidden grape variety gem!
