Shane’s Notes

We are both Port aficionados so when we discovered the Charamba, a red table wine crafted from the Port varietals, we absolutely had to try it. The aroma is minerally, funky and displays some tart cherry. The wine is light-bodied and has a velvety texture. The palate shows light flavors that are perfumey, floral and just a bit spicy. The tannins are very smooth. We really enjoyed the unique flavors in this wine and will definitely be drinking it again. This is a great food wine, and it would be really fun to serve it to guests. They would absolutely love it and never guess how inexpensive it is.
