New Spanish Wines

The middle of March sees the annual Wines from Spain tasting in London.  We always make an effort to attend since past experience tells us that Spain consistently over-delivers when it comes to quality and value for money.  There are always new discoveries to unearth and this year was no exception.  However, the strength and depth of our Spanish range does mean that competition is fierce for space in the list and we have restricted ourselves to three additions this time.  However, we have more up our sleeves for the “just visiting” section of the shop so others will emerge from time to time.  To buy Spanish wine online click here…

The three we simply couldn’t leave out were:

The new vintage of Albarino Gundian from Adega Valdes in Galicia.  Their 2011 is just delicious.  We looked hard at this grape variety and, whilst we found a couple which certainly stood alongside this wine, they were also significantly more expensive.  Some, with more concentration, also see some time in oak (though we think this misses the point of Albarino) so Gundian gets the nod.

The 2011 Tarima Monastrell from Bodegas Volver in La Mancha is chunky and meaty and wonderfully individual.  It’s made from old vines which give it extra concentration and, if such things matter to you, Parker has been throwing his points around in Spain again and gave this 91 out of 100.

Finally, we have added 2012 Venta Morales Tempranillo which is a Vino de la Tierra de Castilla which is dark and juicy and a super example of Tempranillo.  If you like the Mesta Tempranillo that we have listed for a while now, you’ll love this, and it doesn’t cost much more!

What we love about our new flexible buying regime at Wines of Interest is the opportunities it provides us with to tune into new wines as we find them rather than having to wait to include them in our annual printed list.  We can sniff out new discoveries and take advantage on suppliers' promotions as, and when, they appear by adding them to our website where you can buy wine online and either have it delivered to your door, or collect it from our shop.  You can buy these wines online now - click here to start shopping!
