If an easy drinking pink is right up your alley then a fresh pink that supports the Elephant Family charity organization that works to save the endangered Asian elephant may be even more appealing.
The wine itself is a vibrant cranberry colour with bright strawberry and citrus aromas. It's off-dry but certainly not sweet, crisp and zippy with flavours of pink grapefruit and red berries.
Simple and refreshing...a good value wine for your spicy meals!

The region of Lisboa was formerly known as Estremadura. It runs along central coast of Portugal where Lisbon (Lisboa) is located.
Very well balanced between old world rustic and new world texture you can expect aromas of saddle leather and red berries, green olives and wild herbs, sunbaked earth and cherries with hits of cedarbox. It is fresh and very smooth on the palate layered with red fruit, leather and tobacco.
Simple yet complex all at once - drinking well now.

A perfect example of the great value wines coming out of Portugal!
Ripe, plump black cherry aromas lashed with vanilla, coffee liqueur and spice cake. The palate is supple but wonderfully fresh - it is medium-full bodied with flavours of vanilla and fruit/spice cake and mocha, which trails on a smooth, bright finish.
Pair with a nice Portuguese sheep's milk cheese or it will suit any savoury, tomato-based sauces.
A blend of: Touriga Nacional, Castelao, Tinta Roriz, Alicante Bouschet, Cabernet, Pinot Noir and Caladoc
