Tasting Notes and Food Pairing Suggestions

  • Oven-roasted veal chops

Incredible freshness is the hallmark of this red blend from Estremadura, a region in Portugal historically known for producing bulk wine. Candied cherries, violets, licorice, and lavender aromas lead to an utterly feminine wine that is lively, vibrant, slick, and satiny in the mouth. With abundant red fruit and bright acidity that refreshes the palate, this delicious wine is anything but bulk!
