For the Baixo Corgo version. Tastes like vacation in Portugal! Simple but delicious and affordable! A mix of fresh and stewed fruit with a slightly woodsy finish.

Thick dense color, unmodulated acidity, unpolished tannins, the fruit is honest, pure, subtle. Possesses a dynamic, transparent structure. The fruit is too exuberant for the structure but highly tactile.

A bit one dimensional maybe but enjoyable. I'd have it again.

... Berry berry berry fruity .... Beautiful color and not much more to add ... it just pass because is fun and it does taste good. Wild tannins and no complexity whatsoever.... This is the kind of wine that is expected in tetra pack or it does great as the main ingredient of sangrias but I do give it the pass just because is actually fun to drink and it doesn’t feel super cheap ( just cheap ) ... I want to think that there is a good intention behind this bottle and surprises are waiting ahead.

It’s fruity and kind of sweet, without any complexity or depth, like a cheap mass produced brand. Combine that with astringent tannins and it’s not enjoyable. I tried airating it, which dulled it a bit but didn’t improve it.
