Medium translucent purple in color, this wine revealed violets, and juicy red fruits of blackberry, plum and raspberry. The mouth feel brought medium, borderline sweet tannins and more red fruits. The finish was somewhat abrupt but nothing was out of balance.
At $8.49US, this was a well made wine that showed it's place of origin, showcasing the Portuegese varietals it is made from nicely. It's not very complex but completely drinkable and a decent qpr.

Just tasted again on a pop-pour. Not as impressive this time around. The previous tasting had been from an open bottle. It may need some air to flesh out.

An outstanding everyday pour and a fine example of affordable Portuguese table wine. Robust, great mouthfeel, excellent food wine. For maximum satisfaction, try this with Greek mix olives and dry white cheeses.

This wine has much more stuffing than the Vila Regia. Bigger, a little more tannins left, plum, oak, longer finish. Nice.
