F.Schatz Acinipo

This is a wine that we picked up in Ronda in the Malaga province. It is from a winery set up by two German Brothers which is gaining a reputation for good wines. We bought it as it is one of their flagship wines. Made from Lemberger grapes more traditionally grown in Austria. The brothers … Continue reading F.Schatz Acinipo →

El Gusto Tinto

El Gusto is a restaurant in La Cala de Mijas who have their own house wine. Obviously not made by them just labelled for their restaurant, but a nice touch none the less. Trouble is I have no idea which bodega made it or where it is from in Spain. It is a Tempranillo joven … Continue reading El Gusto Tinto →

Ventus 2015

My second red wine from the Teruel region. This time from a Bodega just outside of Valderrobres. Made from a blend of six grapes and aged in French oak for 3 years. It has a light ruby red colour and a medium intense scent. It smells of red berries with a hint of dark chocolate. … Continue reading Ventus 2015 →

Rubus 2019

Currently spending a few days in Teruel and thought I’d try the local wines. This one from Rubielos de Mora is an artesan wine made from Garnacha and Tempranillo, the a Spanish classics. It has the purple colour I expect of Spanish reds and a medium scent which is a bit astringent on the nose … Continue reading Rubus 2019 →

Cuerno de diablo

The final wine at the M&D story telling wine tasting. This is an artesian red wine from Castilla La Mancha. The winery is based in Mota de Cuervo in the Cuenca province, but the grapes for this wine were grown just down the road near Toboso in the Toledo province. It is a vegan wine … Continue reading Cuerno de diablo →

Mestizaje Blanco 2018

The second wine at the Madrid & Darracott story telling tasting. This wine's name translates as mongrel because it is a mix breed made from three different grapes: Merseguera,Viogner and Malvasia. The first is a local grape variety rarely seen outside of Valencia. From the Utiel region of Valencia this is an organic wine that … Continue reading Mestizaje Blanco 2018 →

Flor de Malvajio Flor 2017

This is the third wine I've tried from the Bodegas Malvajio stable. A red wine made from 90% Syrah and 10% Garnacha. As with the other two, I loved it, which is unusual because the Syrah grape variety usually produces wines that are too spicy for me. Not this time. Flor de Malvajio has a … Continue reading Flor de Malvajio Flor 2017 →

Malvajio Chardonnay 2017

Back in January this year, on one of my previous trips to the Mijas Costa, I tried a locally produced garage wine Malapipa and absolutely loved it. What was more exciting was the vines were grown very close to our apartment in the Mijas hills just above the Higueron Restaurant. Well I drove up those … Continue reading Malvajio Chardonnay 2017 →

Tierra Blanca 2018

The first of three wines tried on a recent trip to the Mijas Costa in the Malaga region. This first wine caught my eye because it's from Arcos de la Frontera and I've never tried a dry wine from there before. Didn't know they made them. The region which is inland from Jerez is better … Continue reading Tierra Blanca 2018 →

Malapipa Blanco 2017

When the nasty cold spell hits Madrid what is a girl to do but get in the car and head south. So here I am on the Mijas Costa checking out this lovely local wine.  This a great example of how far Spanish wines have come. Back in the 70s a lot of table wines … Continue reading Malapipa Blanco 2017 →
