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.
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.
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.
Wonderful pale yellow colour with a very good balance between structure and taste.
Immediately after harvesting, the Viura grapes (a synonym for the Macabeo grape, by the way) are carefully skin macerated, pressed and then fermented. This unusual wine perfectly shows the character of the grape's natural aromatic freshness with all its sharpness of taste keeping the softness at the neck and creating a superb aftertaste.
This is a fantastic little rose from Bodegas Protos. It is clean, crisp and full of great fruit smells and flavours. Strawberry, raspberry and cherry add to a magnificent wine that is not to be missed.
This is a delightful dry wine and another perfect example of all that's best in wines made with Verdejo - the 'Queen of Grapes'. It shows an edge of freshness typical of the grape - very fruity, nice and dry. At Palacio de Bornos, all the Verdejo grapes are harvested at night, and from the arrival at the winery until bottling they are handled with great care. This is a Crianza with good fresh aromas, a taste of ripe white fruits and a very long aftertaste. A wine happy to be drunk in its own company!
