4 /5

Intense colour at sight. I liked the taste of blackberries in this Vista Alegre Colheita.
It's better not to pair it and drink it alone.
We tasted this wine at a wine tasting.

With my friends we always order Vista Alegre Colheita.
It had an intense colour. Passes easily across the palate, smooth and very nice.
This Vista Alegre Colheita was a very good pairing for the desserts.
