Winery Review


Caladoc , Alicante Bouschet , Castellan , Pinot Noir , Tinta Roriz , Touriga Nacional.  Great as an aperitif, is a perfect wine for the day-to-day. Excellent addition to dishes with meats, stews, roasts, barbecue, pasta, pizza, vegetarian dishes, Mexican food, Chinese, Thai and cheeses. Excellent with food or by itself. You can follow for example, roasts, barbecue, pasta and vegetarian dishes or made of cheese. Serve at a temperature of 14-16ºC which enhances the fruity, also being much more enjoyable in warmer weather, on a terrace or a party. 




My Review

This wine smelled strongly of black cherries. It also gave off a warm soft caramel note that pulled the rest of the scents together. I honestly was not too impressed with the nose on this wine, but I was also able to pick out a small blackberry component. The taste was very light and soft and had a long finish that was full of fruity complexity that I was not able to pick up on straight off the nose. It was definitely a surprise from a taste perspective. 


I did not eat food with this wine.
