To investigate
This white wine from Penedès features Macabeu grapes from Las Parelladas vineyard in Sant Sadurní. The calcareous soil contributes to its distinctive mineral and saline finish. The wine undergoes eight days of skin contact fermentation and spends two months on lees with weekly stirring. Bottled without filtration or stabilization to maintain its natural character, it presents floral notes and a light, mineral structure.
Nefos is a captivating rosé crafted from three native Greek grapes—Xinomavro, Stavroto, and Krasato—grown high in the slate soils of Mount Olympus’s foothills. The 2022 vintage faced five months without rain and scorching temperatures above 40°C for over forty days, creating a distinctive depth and vibrant character. Handpicked grapes were fermented with native yeasts in whole bunches, then rested for eight months in old barriques. Unfiltered and naturally produced, this wine reveals the purest expression of its terroir. Interestingly, the previous 2021 harvest was delayed by heavy rains, resulting in higher sugar levels and a sweeter style. By contrast, the 2022 edition offers an elegant dryness, balanced by fresh acidity and subtle hints of ripe red fruit. Delight in its lightly savory edge and delicate tannins—a wonderful choice for those seeking a rosé that stands apart.
Caviste
BdN is a rare blanc de noirs from Bodegas Magasé. Syrah vines rooted in the sandy soils beside Doñana are pressed immediately on arrival, leaving the juice almost clear. The must ferments in oak barrels, adding gentle texture and light spice while preserving bright fruit. The result sits between white and rosé: a pale, copper-tinged wine with crisp red-berry notes and a subtle smoky hint from the wood. Only a small release was bottled, letting each glass offer a glimpse of southern Andalusia’s coast and wetlands. Enjoy it chilled on its own or with grilled prawns, sushi, or soft cheeses.
