Conheci este vinho num restaurante com amigos. Foi sugestão do dono e todos aprovámos. Não foi a nossa primeira vez no sítio e desta vez voltámos para comer o famoso arroz de cabidela.

I was introduced to this wine in a restaurant with friends. It was the owners' suggestion and we all approved. It was not our first time there and this time we came for the famous (and probably impossible to translate) Arroz de Cabidela. There's rice, there's chicken and yes... the more traditional versions involve the poor chickens' blood.

Voltando ao vinho, achei muito frutado e suave. Fiquei com vontade de provar outros do mesmo produtor.

Back to the wine, I found it very fruity and soft. I'm curious to try others from the same producer.
