Garnatxa...

With a 'T' & 'X' — is the difference from Grenache & Garnacha simply semantic?

Well, they are the same variety, but the language differences tell you that this is Catalonian-Mediterranean, rather than French or continental Spain. And this leads us to terroir.

Limestone, slate, sand & clay; south of Barcelona and surrounding Priorat. At high elevation, here Garnatxa - Blanc & Negre - is refined and sunny.

Mas Donis Blanc & Negre epitomise this: soft and supple structure; ripe & generous fruit; mouth-filling & approachable.

W**es of place for all locales 🍇🍷🇪🇸 🇳🇿

🇪🇸 Gutiérrez Colosía, el Puerto de Santa Maria— three dry sherries, one variety; one natural progression.

Fino, Amontillado & 'Sangre y Trabajadero' Oloroso

🦪 🍏 🌼 Fino: Sea spray, green apple, chamomile & bread crust. Protected by flor, Fino is fresh and built for olives, almonds, oysters & jamón.

🦐🌰🍑 Amontillado: Begins life as Fino, before transforming like a caterpillar does to a butterfly with oxidative barrel ageing. The Queen of Sherry is perfect with poultry, prawns, belly with its hazelnut, salted caramel & apricot atop its fresh origins.

🥩🍫🍊 Sangre y Trabajadero' Oloroso offers unadulterated oxygenation. Deep, meaty and rich with dried fig, orange peel, nuts & dark chocolate; it is elegant rather than imposing- ideal for slow cooked meat and spices.

Before Vinho Verde was known for crisp, refreshing white w**es, this iconic Portuguese w**e region was known for producing elegant red w**es.

2024 'Pardusco' from Anselmo Mendes is one one of the best modern expressions of these "Mature w**es of Monção".

Made from three indigenous varieties, Pardusco is pale to the eye with aromas and flavours of ripe red berries, savouriness and spice.

Sitting on your list next to reds from Jura, Sicily, Loire Valley & Beaujolais, Pardusco is best enjoyed with charcuterie, cheese, chicken breast or prawns... or simply under the Kiwi sun!

Beyond Provence & Pinot Noir....

Diversify your pink drink section this Kiwi spring and summer with the delicious 2024 Rosado from Bodegas Abeica.

Made in Abalos, north of Rioja's Ebro river, Rosado is made from 50 year old organic bush vines.

It's 80% Garnacha (aka Grenache, key in Provencal Rosé), with the remainder being Viura and Tempranillo. The three let grapes of Rioja, which happen to make excellent rosé:

Dry, minéral and fresh;
Complex and concentrated fruit character;
Great mouth feel and no sweetness.

Rosado is great by the glass as an aperitif in the sun or with a range of dishes.

2025 'Orange' from Bodega Pirineos is here!

Last year we introduced Orange to NZ and were overwhelmed with the interest. Kiwis love the finesse, expression and freshness of this w**e, which maintains unmatched balance between candied orange, marmalade, fresh cut citrus and quince alongside gentle tannins and lively acid.

Inspired by dry, late harvest w**es historically made in the region, Pirineos have crafted an orange w**e that perfectly hits the mark.

From 15-year old Macabeo vines planted in sandy soils in Parajes de Lantarron, Somontano 🇪🇸
