From Rioja to Rueda - Two Bottle Pairing

The 3rd largest wine-producing nation on earth is one that to this day is criminally underrepresented and underappreciated at the top level, particularly in the British wine sphere! So today we are excited to highlight an absolutely delicious red and white from two of our favourite winemakers in North Central Spain!


Containing 1x each of the following wines:

2016 Pasos de San Martin

100% Garnacha, organically grown from vineyards located in San Martin de Unx, in Navarra, on sloped vineyards at 600m elevation. Bright ruby in the glass, this is a big, energetic, fruit driven Garnacha. Full bodied and rich, the palate is nicely textured with fine-grained chalky tannins and ample freshness. Violets, plums, blackcurrants and cherries engulf the nose and palate, accompanied by subtle orange-peel, herbs, vanilla and a smokey backbone from a small amount of harmoniously integrated French oak ageing. Delicious, it is a wine that has plenty of delicate nuances, but which is full of power and authenticity.


2017 Verdejo Superior

The Verdejo superior is a gorgeous wine, from over 60-year-old vines, with great aromatic intensity. The nose lights up with Citrus aromas delicately interlaced with notes of chamomile, fennel, and subtle touches of honey. The palate is wonderfully balanced with light creamy notes, intertwined with citrus, limes and grapefruit. Thanks to a small amount of time on its lees, it has a wonderful silky texture and great breadth and volume, which is all streamlined with some mouth-watering acidity and a refreshing minerality. It would perfectly accompany a wide variety of dishes including fish, white meats, salads, a variety of vegetable dishes, foie gras and cheeses.
