Rías Baixas Albariño Bico Da Ran 2016
Albarino
Galicia, Spain
Summer 2018 has not been letting us live! What can we drink to help us get through this blistering heat? This Albarino is here to help! A lovely bright straw yellow color with hints of green are defining factors of this crisp wine. Drinking it is as if you’re taking a bite out of a ripe juicy apple-fruity with refreshing acidity. The nose is reminiscent of citrus, fennel and passion fruit.

Tempranillo
Ribera Del Duero, SpainBodegas la Milagrosa is home to the Milcampos, which means “a thousand fields” because looking from the bodega at the vineyard along the rolling hills, each hill looks like a different vineyard, a sight to be seen! This Tempranillo is an inky ruby color with dark berry, cherry and peppery aromas. Herbs, concentrated blackberrys, cherry and vanilla fill the palate in a beautiful marriage of flavors. An excellent option for a medium to full bodied wine that gives a nice and soft finish.

Morgado de Santa Caterina
Arinto
Lisboa, Portugal
You may not have heard of the varietal Arinto but we are positive that you will fall in love with this Portuguese socialite. This wine displays the finest characteristics of the grape, exhibiting a rich aroma of minerals, citrus and white fruits with smooth notes of vanilla from the oak used during the aging process. The notes are well fused with other aromas, creating an explosion of flavours and complexity. An intense wine and a nice full-bodied option that goes perfectly with spicy dishes.

Granacha

La Bruja de Rozas is sourced from several vineyards in the vicinity La Rozas de Puerto Real. Pure Granacha from granitic sand, La Bruja is perfumed and lively with plenty of fruit with a backbone of acidity and tannins. Ranked 92 Points by Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast and James Suckling.
