Amphora Vinho Tinto

This wine is lightly tinted, a little redder than a rosato, but not as dark as most red wines. The nose is fruity, yet earthy. I smell red plums, blackberries, cherries, and a faint licorice note. The mouthfeel is full and clean, almost a creamy presentation of red fruit. The tannins are light, but the acidity is very refreshing. I wouldn't fault you for dropping an ice cube in it for summer enjoyment. I heard someone say they wanted to make sangria from it, and that sounds like a good idea. I'll just sip mine, though.

Dark purple fruits, some mushroom style earth, a little stemmy. Nice for a simple dinner.

Not as rustic as the white. Still muted in flavor and body.

Wild funky red. Meat chocolate toffee. Then red apples and acid. Dusty fruit. $16

Spicy and smooth. This one goes down effortlessly.

Good mid-week food wine.. Nice amphora red wine, fine tannin, good fruit, light earthy clay notes. Shawarma.

The amphora process gives this wine a very unique quality that is difficult to describe: funky, primitive (in a good way), and forceful. Aromas of greens and hot peppers. The taste brings forth that hot pepper with eucalyptus, earth, and blackberry. Remarkable.

I really like it! Simple, fresh, red berries, well balanced, not too acidic. This falls into the category of minimal intervention traditional produced wines that are currently my favorite. I'm not familiar with any of the grapes used. I'm interested in winemakers using ingenious traditional varieties that are lesser known. That is the case here.

Angela says “funky” yum. Full fruit.

Slightly fruity ; Easy to sip ; Buy again but maybe not $18 worthy
