Spains best white wine ?
Ver mensaje de rayolAbout to arrive in my adopted homeland.
Got a lot of work to do in my new home.
Expect it to be thirsty work.
And at the end of the day my wife and I could probably do with a chilled bottle of white as we survey the dust and paint !
So verema (ites) what wine should it be.
Keeping in mind the bank owns half the house keep suggestions reasonable !

Only half the house?
Ver mensaje de rayolYou´re lucky dude! ;)))
Well, I wouldn’t look for the best spanish wine, but for the best in that environment. So hard homework and high temperatures.
I’d bet for Verdejo and of course Cava, just a bit of indulging yourselfs ;))))
Cheers,
Jose
Re: ...and of course fino & manzanilla... I almost forget it ;)
Ver mensaje de joseOk good point on the fino
but I was thinking white table wines.
I have very little experience of them other than a few from Rueda
any suggestions ?
Re: Spains best white wine ?
Ver mensaje de rayolHi there,
Where do you live?
If it is in Spain, you may enjoy very good Ruedas, Penedès, Montsants, Priorats, Rías Baixas, and so....
My favourites:
-Màrtius (Montsant)
-Odysseus (Priorat)
-Gramona (Penedès)
-Jean Leon (Penedès)
-D Pedro de Soutomaior (Rías Baixas)
-Aura (Rueda)
-Palacio de Bornos(Rueda)
And of course, for me, THE white: Mas d’en Compte (Priorat)
About cavas, at once I can think about Jané Ventura, Gramona, Colet, Montferrant, Bertha, Raventós i Blanc, Agustí Torelló, etc...
Salut!
Joan
White wines
Ver mensaje de rayolTry wines from Galicia.
Here there is a recent thread about favourite white wines: https://www.verema.com/en/forum/message.asp?message=1147
BTW, I drunk Gran Bazán 2001 (an albariño from DO Rias Baixas) in a coastal restaurant last Saturday and it was surprisingly alive and complex.
Re: Spains best white wine ?
Ver mensaje de JoanFI don’t know many Spanish white table wines which can compare with a manzanilla, in quality, complexity, freshness and, above all, price.
But for those extremely rare moments when manzanilla doesn’t seem right (breakfast?), I’d probably go for a Rueda, or Viña Sol. Don’t know the Mas d’en Compte yet, unfortuantely - think it might be hard to find in S Spain?
Breakfast? Well... it’s ok for a breakfast! @-D

Hmmm... that great jamon serrano over the counter is calling youuuu.... yum, yum.... And here are you, with a knife, a great jamon serrano... and some sips of manzanilla/fino...
