Producer: Ervideira Sociedade Agrícola
Region: Alentejo, Portugal
Granach deep color showing youth.
Average intensity nose, showing good fruit with notes of orange peel and redcurrants.
Is very smooth in the mouth with well tamed tannins, the structure is acceptable and the ending fits well with the rest.
Well long story short....
This is a great red wine (at least for me).
I would recommend you to try it out...
This red wine I will repeat for sure :D
