Huge disappointment. As much as I liked 2021, this one is a failure. Seems it contains the same flavors, but balance is not there. Too sweet, a bit harsh, wine is not good.

Monte da Ferra
Nice Rosé. Fruits, citrus, a bit spicy. There is some sugar, OK for Rosé, but I wouldn't buy red of the same name.
Was good with Chilean sea bass.
2021 Dona Julieta
One of the best Portuguese wines I tried. Complex taste with multiple fruits, great aftertaste, almost no sugar.
Was great with mushroom and ham pizza.

2023 Guarda Rios
Decent Rosé. A bit of play on a tongue. Fruits and citrus in the nose and taste. But there are better Rosé wines in Portugal.
Was good with white fish.

2021 Porta d'Armas
It was high-risk purchase. The only reason I bought it, 90 points from Wine Enthusiast. Sometimes it doesn't work, but this time, right on point.
Very good wine. Multiple berries in the nose and taste. Almost no sugar. Reacts perfectly to aerator.
Enjoyed it with choriço and mushroom pizza.

2023 Adegamãe Redblend
Adegamãe Rosé was good, so we decided to try red. The red is great! Powerful caramel note and a hint of raspberry. Very well balanced, almost no sugar.
Enjoyed it with ham and mushroom pizza and then with baked bonito. This wine would pair with almost any red meat and red fish.
