"Very relatable to port on the nose. And there's a lovely sweet palate entry with some floral notes and very gentle tannins. Quite frisky rather than impenetrably concentrated. Delightfully appetising with some persistence." - JancisRobinson.com
This elegant blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz is an elegant combination of red fruits and well integrated oak notes, with lively acidity providing a fresh palate and excellent backbone to this wine. It has a deep garnet colour with a violet hue, Intense red cherry aromas with hints of sweet basil and white pepper.
Quality is consistent. Deeper bouquet and flavor than most Cali Zins. The Earth tones come thru beautifully about two years from Vintage. Wonderful
Red to contemplate on its own or with good food.
chianti at a good price- good value for everyday drinking
Not quite in same class as recent chianti from Wine Direct released earlier this year-but also half the price. Excellent value for a red wine: you don't have to worry about finding a superior food to match at this excellent price.
Hard pushed to find a NZ red at this price/quality ratio!
