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!

This amazing white has the taste of white fruits with the dry edge of citric fruits. Superbly done, this is Pansa Blanca (or Xarel-lo) at its best - the flagship of this winemaker. The wine has a soft yellow colour, a very pleasant aroma of white fruits and the freshness of mint and ripe lime. The taste is of green apples and peaches. Very fresh. Perfect acidity. Excellent with anything that swims!
A fresh, full-bodied, medium-dry white made entirely from the tiny picapoll, a delightful, oval-shaped grape indigenous to the Pla de Bages region of Catalunya. The wine's delicate, pale yellow colour and aromas of honeyed apricot and maracuya are largely thanks to the use of this eccentric little grape, known for its thick skin.
Thick skinned it may be, but few foodies remain impervious to the delights of this wine which can be enjoyed equally well with cold meats like Parma or Serrano ham or thumping main courses such as paella and risotto. Terrific with fowl or blue fish as well.
