Castillo Perelada Rose 2005

Fresh and fruity, with those wonderful intense raspberry and strawberry aromas. An ideal summer wine, this is good Mediterranean rose made from a clever blend dominated by Grenache with Carignan and Tempranillo. The result? A perfect balance of red fruit aromas with good taste and even better aftertaste. This is the perfect rose to have lolling in the chiller when you've got some fresh fish to sear on the barbecue. Or try a glass with pan fried scallops, and a squeeze of lemon - close to heaven.

Finca del Mar Chardonnay 2006

100% Chardonnay grape. Aromas of green fruit with the right amount of woody edge. Just right!!

A very correct Chardonnay from a very experienced wine producer. Green fruits and wood in a perfect balance. The kind of wine to enjoy both with food or just for an occasional drink.

Jane Ventura Rose 2005 - 2006

A lovely rose that will please the most demanding wine expert, this Jane Ventura is made from a winning combination of Tempranillo topped up with Carignan. The colour is deep raspberry and the aromas are of raspberry and red berries generally. It's soft and yet has a strong rose personality. Good aftertaste.

Montesierra White 2004

Loads of fruity aromas, dry, and rich, this is a well-made match of Macabeo - that classic grape of Rioja - and a touch of Chardonnay. All the wonderful aromas of Macabeo but with the touch of leather so typical of the Chardonnay grape. Long finish. A very interesting white and an excellently priced partner to perk up casseroles or grilled fish, risottos, shellfish and salads.

Mas Comtal Rose 2006 - 2007

A very tasty rose - one of the top numbers from this wine maker. Lots of raspberry and strawberry aromas, strong yet not overpowering, and lots of sweet fruit taste, but dry at the palate. Long aftertaste. Good balance between taste and acidity. Try it as you balance a paella, pasta, risotto or lightly grilled chicken on your knee next to the barbecue. Very, very enjoyable.

El Coto Rose 2006

This lovely rose is fresh and dry with fruity aromas of strawberry, raspberry and grapefruit. Very pleasant to the palate it is light and a bit peppery with a good after taste. The half and half blend of Tempranillo and Grenache is cold fermented to intensify those fine fruit aromas. A bright, transparent pink, this crisp little wine is really refreshing and great for a casual drink - or try it with light impromptu dishes like chicken salad or fish soup.
