Spanish Sauvignon Blancs often show greater complexity than the archetypal 'cat's pee on a gooseberry bush' associated with this grape, and this one is no exception. On the nose, intense and very complex floral aromas evolve into tropical fruits lime, pineapple, passion fruit. The colour is straw yellow, but look carefully and you'll pick up glints of green. It's fresh and dry with a very pleasant and long aftertaste. Great value for money too, which always helps.
Well, well... a Sauvignon Blanc from Rueda! This is a very lively Sauvignon from a family that have been making wine in Rueda for five generations. Very fruity, nice and dry with a long finish and the perfect balance between acidity and aromas. Go for it - we know you'll love it!

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.
