2024 Monsaraz

 


Interesting Alentejo wine. Strong nose and taste of strawberries, well balanced. A lot of alcohol (14.5%), but doesn't feel overpowering.

Was good with grilled tuna and ham and mushroom pizza.

2025 João Pires

 


Strong nose and taste of apples. Drinkable, but way too sweet.

2024 Fontagnac

 


Very good Bordeaux. Not overpowering. Multiple berries, well balanced.

Was very good with grilled tuna.

2025 Ciconia


 Another Portuguese rosé. Not bad. Some berries in the taste and nose. A bit on a sweet side.

Was good with grilled fish.

2025 Beso de Luna


 Rioja Rosé is good. Always good. And this one is especially good. Crisp, a bit spicy, just a hint of sugar, with a complex taste and nose, full of different berries.

Enjoyed it with grilled shrimp.
