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.
A light, uncomplicated white, perfect for a relaxing casual drink. Blanc Planell is a straw-coloured wine, fruity, fresh and dry with aromas of crisp green apples. It has a long-lasting taste of very ripe white fruits. Great on its own or with any kind of grilled white fish.

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.

This is Sauvignon Blanc at its best. Without exaggeration, a superior white. Settle back and do try this at home. First you will get an intense aroma of white fruits, with just a slight touch of oak. Then the superb taste of fresh and ripe white fruits with just a hint of Mediterranean herbs.
Cervoles is made by a very special producer who indulges his craft by making small numbers of great quality wines. This wine is fresh and light but, at the same time, very tasty and with a fabulous after taste. Just the thing to have on a summery table piled high with food like lobster, shellfish, cold poultry and good strong cheeses.
