Shop/wine critic/winery review:
Caladoc , Alicante Bouschet , Castellan , Pinot Noir , Tinta Roriz , Touriga Nacional. Great as an aperitif, is a perfect wine for the day-to-day. Excellent addition to dishes with meats, stews, roasts, barbecue, pasta, pizza, vegetarian dishes, Mexican food, Chinese, Thai and cheeses. Excellent with food or by itself. You can follow for example, roasts, barbecue, pasta and vegetarian dishes or made of cheese. Serve at a temperature of 14-16ºC which enhances the fruity, also being much more enjoyable in warmer weather, on a terrace or a party.

Your Review:
So this summer I drank a lot of "Tinto de Verano" when I was in Southern Spain, but this was definitely not it. I do imagine this being a good summer wine, and it could be drank by itself. It was pretty smooth but did have a bit of heat at the end. Honestly, no super strong flavors jump out. Some red berries, maybe like a raspberry? That doesn't mean that it was a bad wine; it was just well blended with flavors all throughout. There was just a hint of spice to it, which was to be expected. All in all, not bad. On the back of the label they listed the region, but I totally forgot to write it down.
