In Spain there is a tradition for ageing wines in oak barrels and sometimes in-bottle prior to release. Four labelling terms are used to reflect the style and quality of the wine - Joven, Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva. 🍇🍷⁣
⁣
Joven- Typically young, fruity wines which are not subjected to minimum ageing. ⁣

Crianza- Must be aged in oak barrels prior to release. During this time they can develop vanilla, smoke and cedar flavours alongside their primary red fruit flavours.⁣

Reserva- These wines must age for extended time before release, in both oak barrels and in-bottle prior. This produces softer tannins and the fresh red fruit flavours become cooked or dried in character. ⁣

Gran Reserva- These wines are subject to the highest minimum ageing requirements and typically have the most complex, pronounced flavours from the ageing process including dried fruit, oak, cedar, smoke, leather and mushroom. ⁣

🌞Here is some sunshine wine inspiration for you! 3 of our favourite Italian white wines.🌞

First up we have a Falanghina by Montecalvo. Lightly tropical aromas with hints of citrus fruit and honeysuckle. Ripe lemon and apple characters, hints of pineapple and candied peel, and notes of white spice on the finish. Super fresh and juicy! - tinyurl.com/mvfnyxvk

Next we have Pipoli which is Greco/Fiano blend. Rich and tropical fruit flavours with a refreshingly zesty lime character. This is a great sunshine wine from beautiful Southern Italy that is rich, yet fresh, with a lovely floral finish. - tinyurl.com/ycy4mm57

Last but not least Pecorino by Contesa. Great as an aperitif or with light food this Pecorino has vibrant aromas of ripe stone fruit with citrus and grapefruit notes. The palate is crisp and zesty with layers of fresh peachy, tropical fruit characters. Ripe and approachable, with texture and minerality. - tinyurl.com/yme3c8md

🍇🍷 Sam recommends! 🍷🍇

Piqueras Garnacha Tintorera (just back in stock, so she had to grab two bottles!)

From Almansa, close to Alicante, Piqueras Garnacha Tintorera is a full bodied, organic red. Harvested from low yielding old vines it is dark in colour with rich damson, red plum and cherry flavours. Soft and juicy tannins with good levels of natural acidity combine to make a brilliant Spanish red wine full of flavours! 🇪🇸

✨🌞 Gemma recommends! 🌞✨

Chateau Argadens Blanc -

Often overlooked, White Bordeaux wines have plenty of character, texture and great acidity- making them great for both drinking on their own or pairing wonderfully with almost any food. This example from Maison Sichel is made from 35% Semillon and 65% Sauvignon fermented in new oak and rested on lees for several months adding texture and complexity. With fruity, citrus aromas and subtle mineral, slightly oaky notes this wine is exceptional value.

🍇🍷Today is international Syrah day! 🍷🍇
A rich and powerful red wine that originated in the Rhône Valley of France. Depending on the climate in which it is grown Syrah can range from medium-bodied with pepper and black fruit aromas to smooth and full-bodied with intense, very ripe black fruit flavours and hints of liqourice.

Its intense fruit flavours combined with deep colour and high tannins make the best examples great after long-term ageing.

Australia also has a well established reputation for its Syrah- where it is known as Shiraz. Other classic coutries and regions producing Syrah are Chile, South Africa, Hawke's Bay in New Zealand and Washington State in the USA.
