Desconfío de la gente que no bebe 2023
VdT, Ribas, 750 ml
Description
"Never trust a man who doesn't drink", Humphrey Bogart allegedly once said - and that's exactly what this wine is called, only in Spanish. Admittedly, after the first sip, resistance is futile anyway: this wine envelops the palate with such warmth, flavour and softness that you'll gladly let yourself be carried away! The nose is full of cherry, strawberry, blackberry and plum fruit, paired with liquorice and distinctive balsamic notes. Velvety on the palate with ripe tannins. Limited availability!

Mallorca
Mallorca: new premium wines from old varieties
The party island is showing an entirely different, more delightful side: every year, more premium wines are produced in Mallorca. While international varieties like Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot yield excellent wines in Mallorca’s terroir, top winemakers increasingly use the best native varieties, such as Manto Negro, Callet and Prensal Blanc. The results are independent wines with Mediterranean charm and surprising freshness.
Spain
Spain – Variety and perfection
“Somewhere in la Mancha, in a place whose name I do not care to remember...,” begins Don Quixote's odyssey.
The most famous part is definitely when Don Quixote thinks windmills are his enemy and wants to fight them – until they nearly kill him. It’s possible there was a bit too much of the La Mancha wine at play. Spanish vines fight for their survival in rugged landscapes, battling fierce drought and rough soils. But they fight well.
