Wine Store Review - Vintage Cellar
The cherry color reveals a slightly fizzy wine that is a very fruitful rose made from the traditional vinho verde white grapes. Adding a splash of red to offer flavors with notes of strawberry, cherry and berries. A delightful twist on the original.

My Review - I thought the color of this wine was just beautiful, it was a faint orange/pink. It smelled like cherry, orange blossom, melon and cantaloupe. I loved the fizzy texture of this wine on the palate. I thought it tasted like a watered down orange juice, peaches and white grape juice. I did not try this wine with food.
