Spanish Walk-Around Tasting

If you haven't yet been to one of these style tastings - they are really fantastic for trying a large range of wines in a casual and relaxed setting - no matter how pressed for time you are! Yesterday evening, 30 guests joined us to taste some of our favourite wines from Spain. We were showing an even split of 8 whites and 8 reds from a range of appellations including classics like Rioja, Rias Baixas and Ribera del Duero, to those a little less well known such as Costers del Segre, Mentrida, and Ribera Sacra. Spain is known for producing high-quality wines at affordable prices and the wines on show certainly reflected that - with the least expensive white pleasantly surprising us with its intensity, and at the other end of the spectrum, Muga's knock-out Prado Enea leaving many of us lost for words - a very special wine with a price tag you wouldn't mind paying for the quality in the glass.
