Pale yellow in colour with hints of green, this wonderful white from Marques de Riscal has a highly intense, fruity nose, with ripe berries, citrus fruit, pineapple and grapefruit. On the palate it has an underlying mineral presence and a fresh and aromatic sensation in the long, lingering finish. Marques de Riscal introduced the French Sauvignon Blanc used for this wine in 1974 and today the bodega grows 70 hectares of it. Nowadays it's one of the officially permitted varieties of the Denominacion de Origen Rueda, thanks to its ability to produce white wines with great aromatic intensity, good acidity and hints of minerals. It's the perfect match for all kinds of shellfish and pasta dishes and also ideal as an aperitif.
A classic Gewurztraminer from Somontano - one of Spain's coolest wine regions, in the foothills of the Pyrenees. Bodegas Pirineos is one of the very few wine makers in Spain to work with Gewurztraminer and they make an excellent job of it. In German, the word 'gewurz' means 'spiced' - not a bad description for this wine. So if you're looking for intense aromas with a superb fruity taste - a wine that's dry, elegant and promises a new experience - look no further!
A barrel-fermented Chardonnay with just a touch of Macabeo. Superbly blended, this is a great example of Chardonnay character softened by Macabeo. Just the thing for anyone who doesn't like their Chardonnay too oaky. This is an important white that is creamy, fat and aromatic. Ideal for hot or cold white meats and cheese.
