The second comes from the Mitarte winery, a barrel-aged white wine made with Viura grapes that leaves refreshing, creamy notes on the palate. Your rosé is from Puerta de la Majestad from Spain’s Cigales region, a splendid aperitif wine that combines rich red fruit aromas with crisp acidity. Finally, across the Mediterranean, Italy’s Veneto region gives us a delightful straw-yellow Chardonnay with a floral palate. You’ll get three bottles of each - so if you were worried about not having enough, you can stop your wining right now!
Contents
- 3x Valdegastea Joven from Rioja DO. This wine has a dark cherry-garnet colour with a lively, violet rim. On the nose, the aromas are intense, fresh, clean and fruity, with floral, blackcurrant and milk hints. On the palate, it is harmonious and medium-bodied, offering a perfect balance between tannins, freshness and acidity. It is long in the mouth, with a lingering finish and some sweet, fruity hints in the aftertaste.
- 3x Puerta de la Majestad Rosado from Cigales DO. The popularity of Cigales rosado is gaining steam thanks to the aperitif quality of their wines. They are fresh with intense red fruit (think strawberry and raspberry) aromas, crisp acidity and superb mouthfeel. The bright watermelon fruit pulp color will leave you with summer on the mind. The Majestad does not disappoint. The round fruit pairs beautifully with fish, seafood, or any of San Jamón's mixed cheeses or Marcona almonds.
- 3x Mitarte Blanco Viura Fermentado en Barrica from Rioja DO. This is a barrel-aged white with a bright, clean, yellow colour. It is aromatic and intense with notes of white flowers and tropical fruit, rounded off with a creamy taste with hints of well-integrated fresh herbs. Delicious and refreshing.
- 3x Chardonnay Veneto IGT. This white wine with a straw-yellow colour and citrine hints has a fragrance that is typically floral and fine, while the palate is tasty, harmonious and persistent. Serving suggestions: Perfect with first courses in general and second courses of white meat or fish-based dishes. Serving temperature: 9-11°C.
