Elias Mora Crianza 2012 Toro Red Wine.
‘This wine’s red fruity clarity and soft notes of tea leaves make it a sophisticated Toro. The structure is vertical, supported by firm, razor sharp tannins, all surrounded by delicious flavors of ripe raspberries and scents of flowers”.
93 points Wine & Spirits Magazine Spectator. Issue June 2016.
” Dark ruby. Fresh, assertively perfumed aromas of cherry, red berry liqueur, peppery spices and minerals, with smoke and vanilla nuances adding complexity. Fleshy and broad on entry, then tighter in the mid-palate, offering juicy raspberry and bitter cherry and flavors and a touch of coconutty oak. The spicy quality comes back strong on the finish, which clings with strong tenacity and slow-buildings tannins.”
91 points International Wine Cellar “ Focus on Spain” Issue 176, Sep/ Oct 2014.
” Earthy and tarry notes lend a sanguine character to this powerful red, with a core of plum, curant and bitter chocolate imparting balance. The texture is dense and polished, featuring well-integrated tannins and a juicy finish.”

Verdejo Fresco White wine 2017
Verdejo is a variety grape that has long been grown in The Rueda region of Spain. The grape originated in North Africa, and was brought to Spain around the 11th Century by Mozarabs. Verdejo was usually used to make a strongly oxidized Sherry-like wine. In the 70s Marques de Riscal, the famous Spanish winemaking company, began to develop a fresher style of white wine based on Verdejo with the help of French oenologist Emile Peynaud. In 1980 white wines from the Rueda Region were recognized by a DO (geographic origin denomination). Wines labeled Rueda must contain 50% Verdejo; The remaining is usually Sauvignon Blanc or Macabeo grapes. Wines designated “Rueda Verdejo” must contain 85% Verdejo. CURIOUS FACT: The Verdejo grapes are generally harvested at night. This means the grapes enter the cellar at the lower night time temperature 50-59 F, instead of the daytime temperature, which can be as high as 82-86 F in September. Lower temperatures means less oxidation ( browning the juice).
This Verdejo wine is aromatic, soft and full bodied. It has a small amount of “bubbles”, so we promise it won’t leave you indifferent!.
Pazo Pegullal Albariño White Wine 2017
“ Our wine is smart and floral with dried fruity tones. Crispy and refreshing aftertaste with a small hint of acidity. It won’t leave you indifferent”.
‘Our wine needs to be chilled in order to be able to enjoy its full combination of flavors. The main difference between our wine and other Albariños is our production process. Everything is manually done and handled with the uttermost care. We do not harvest our grapes until we check they reached the adequate sugar bricks. That way our wine does not need to be processed with chemicals at the winery since it uses its own yeasts and sugar to ferment by itself naturally.
ENJOY IT 🥂
