Bit simple and spritzy straight after opening, double decanted and left in the bottle for 24 hours did it some good. Both the nose and palate are simple but show good purity of cherry fruit, soft, easy drinking style red, Bojo with balls.

Super racy and high minerality vibes(borderline fizzy Bojo without funk and over-acidic)

Weird celery and Cherries on the nose, cooked currants and a nice acidity on the palate - great vin natural

Pretty simple but incredibly drinkable. Lots of cherry.

Carignan from South Africa blowing my mind! Very interesting combo of red and dark fruit and wonderfully acidic. 12% ABV

First time knowingly trying a Carignan red. Fruit punch all the way! 👊🏾 Pleasant, bright, young South African natural with strong cranberry + raspberry noted and vibes. Excellent value. Sad to see this one is no longer being imported to Norway!

Opens up to a soft yet slightly sour cherry deliciousness.
