Portuguese but new world style. Very full bodied, full fruit, jam, baking spice. Still has nice acidity. Unexpected.

Nose of fresh raspberry, berry, spice, a bit vanilla, a bit flower and honey note, and interestingly some notes that remind me of sweet Riesling. Taste is quite sweet, with juicy grapes, spice, and again some honey kind of Riesling note. Aftertaste of some more vanilla, tobacco leaves, a bit tannins, and zesty sweetness. Interesting.

E rotondo e facile di bere. Non ha la complexita. E un po dolce. Pensendo il prezo, non ce male, solo non e speciale.

Tart finish, nice tannin, smooth and slightly sweet. Perfect for brunch or light summer dinner. Not complex, light-medium mouth feel with moderate alcohol scent and taste. Would agree with the label's wording as "juicy" but would not go as far to say it's jammy.

Paired really well with burgers. Tried it again the next day, Not so much with Bolognese Sauce. Nice for the price! Will be trying it again
