Winery Review

The grapes are soft pressed and the juice is placed in stainless steel along with the skins for a maceration of 8 to 10 days with daily pumping over of the juice to extract more color and sweet tannins. Dense ruby red with violet reflections. Lush and ripe bouquet full of mulberries, blackberries and spice. Harmonious and well balanced with good berry fruit in a spicy background. Excellent with lamb, grilled and barbecued meats, dishes with olives or capers and seasoned cheeses.

My Review

This wine had a strong berry smell that really backed up its already fruity aroma. It had the deepest crimson color, and was not at all translucent like other red wines I have seen. It looked like it was hearty and thick in flavor and consistency. It was slightly bitter to taste and stung the tongue. However I am slightly biased as I do not enjoy red wines.

I did not eat food with this wine.
