From the colourful world of
Spanish wine comes an
exciting new range of wines
that will astonish you with
their quality and value

 

Jancis Robinson MW:

"Spain is in the grip of a vinous revolution and is a significant beneficiary of recent improvements in winemaking."

This month Hemingway Fine Wines is staging two events around Spanish wine. A degustation dinner at Restaurant Schwass on Wednesday week with a set of wonderful wines ranging from $35rrp up to $70rrp/btl and then, the following night, with a different set of wines a tasting of eight wines at Eliza's Manor on Bealey.  At our degustation the wine pours will be 80ml compared to 40ml for our normal wine tasting. Read below and make your choice - either way, if you participate, you will be indulging in a level of quality well beyond previous expectations of 'vino espanol!'

Cava Beso
Made from Macabeo (80%) and Chardonnay (20%), this stunning Spanish methode champenois is bottle fermented for over 15 months and has zero dossage

Valdesil
Very elegant white wine made 100% from Godello grapes grown on steep slate slopes. Aged for a considerable time on lees to give the wine its complexity, depth, texture and unique character

Sin Palabras
Made from 100% Albarino grapes from vines 50 years old, this wine is testimony to Spain's claim to its Albarino being the best in the world - this wine is highly complex with characters of pear, honeydew, nuts and peach while retaining a flinty note to make it the perfect match with scallops

Jose Pariente
From Rueda and made from 100% Verdejo, this white has intense fruit characters, lovely palate weight, texture and elegance

Lavia
Made from 70% Monastrell and 30% Syrah this wine is aged in large French oak barrels on less for 11 months. The wine is very smooth with good ripe berry fruit characters and ripe tannins

Lavia Plus
100% Monastrell and aged for 15 months in French oak, this wine is full bodied with dark blackberry notes with hints of floral on the nose and a silky finish

Petite Grealo
A blend of certified organic Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Tempranillo from hand harvested grapes - the character of the wine is full-bodied with hints of liquorice and black forest fruits with firm tannin structure.

Flor de Grealo
Made with the same organically grown grape varieties as the wine above but made and aged differently to give the wine stunning quality and ageability.
