Journeys into Spanish wine
Pago de Valdoneje 2020, Vinos Valtuille
At the price I was expecting way less. It went in the fridge under that pretense, but it delivers way beyond.
Flor de Primavera - Peraj Ha’abib 2020,Celler Capçanes
At 15% it’s quite a hefty wine, lots of stewed dark fruit, chocolate and some Mediterranean wild mountain thyme…
Labros 2016, Bodega Marañones
To really get into the nitty-gritty of Gredos parajes & parcelas it’s essential to talk to the winemakers themselves!
Salia 2020, Finca Sandoval
The fruit creates a really friendly wine that just makes you happy when drinking it!
Maceración Carbónica 2020, Luis Cañas
“Woah - this wine is la bomba!”
Ad Libitum 2020, Bodegas Juan Carlos Sancha
Fortunately for me, Ad Libitum means ‘free to do as you wish.’ So I did…I finished the bottle!
Deunidó 2020, Christian Barbier
Extremely vibrant, full of sappy red fruits and parma violets, with the treble turned up to eleven!
Maduresa 2019, Celler del Roure
I expected fireworks from Valencia and I certainly got them!
XÉRICO 2018, Tentenublo
Being such a big advocate of the notion ‘there’s more to Spanish wine than Rioja,’ it’s odd that I find myself starting my contribution to this feature with, you guessed it, a Rioja!? But hold your horses wine drinkers...there’s exciting things happening!
Rubus 2018, Bodega Jesús Romero
At €7.90 a bottle here it’s a steal and worth buying just to do your bit for one of the many Spanish villages that are in danger of disappearing from the map if not for the work of its hardy winemakers.
