Intriguing notes of berries, black olive and baking spices lure you in immediately, and as the wine bursts across the palate filling the senses with wonderment you’ll be glad the bottle is still more than half-full. But it isn’t only about fruit and softness, there’s also Quivera’s bracing, lightly granular finish that refreshes taste buds and awakens the appetite.
