“Espelho” – meaning “mirror” – reflects the warm, generous character of its terroir. The nose is an inviting burst of ripe blackberries, plums, and a hint of dark chocolate. On the palate, it’s smooth, round, and immediately enjoyable. Juicy flavors of blueberry and black cherry are supported by a soft, velvety structure and just enough freshness to keep it lively. This is a wonderfully uncomplicated yet satisfying wine, made for easy, everyday enjoyment.

How To Enjoy It
