Winery Review: "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 14-16ÂșC which enhances the fruity, also being much more enjoyable in warmer weather, on a terrace or a party."

My Review: For a cheap wine, I liked it! I mean don't get me wrong, it's not out-of-this-world, but it's a solid little wine. On the nose this wine smelled only of berries. However the aroma was loud..it smelt so good. On the palate, the wine tasted mostly of berries. However, there was also this tangy component with a little spice, which gave it just enough complexity to make it interesting. This wine was tasted on its own without food.
