The grape variety Cereza, meaning "cherry," is a white grape variety with pink skin that is grown extensively in Chile and Argentina. This fresh red wine was born from a 1940 cherry vineyard and is vinified in concrete eggs, part with maceration on skins and part without. The result is a juicy, chug-able wine with light tannins and vibrant acidity. Aromas of strawberries, roses, and dried herbs turn over to a light-bodied palate. The slight sweetness of the fruit and thirst-quenching character will play nicely with all kinds of spicy dishes. You may also enjoy this slightly chilled to temper the heat of a spicy meal.
