Not the most serious red but hell of a bang for your buck in this one. Juicy with classic fruit and enough length to be a surprise for the price. Very moreish and worthwhile purchase to make the pennies go further. - John Chapman, OWC

April 2024 - A delicious blend of six grapes with Touriga National providing some cherry and black fruit bite, but soft and velvety too. Amazing with barbecues or roasted lamb. Tasty!
