Purchase El Coto de Rioja-Rioja Blanco

"Pulpy and also minerally on the nose, with basic white fruit aromas. Zesty, crisp and defined by slate and lime in the mouth, with apple, lime and dryness to the flavor profile. A composed little white wine for simple sipping or white sangria." -Wine Enthusiast

"I tasted sharp pear on the nose even light lemon peel zest across my tongue making it perfect for fresh seafood dishes. Dry on the first impression but soon develops into a much richer warmer flavor experience than Chardonnay. With an ever so slight chalky mouth feel, this light fruity wine is the further you can get from heavy or burdensome. Blossoms into an ebullient flavor bomb with cheeses, especially Gruyere." -Steve Mirsky, Foodbuzz.com

Castillo de Monjardin "El Cerezo" Chardonnay -- "Castillo de Monjardin's 2009 Chardonnay Unoaked El Cerezo was aged in stainless steel with no malolactic fermentation. Light straw-colored, it exhibits a perfume of pear, apple, and white peach. This is followed by a crisp, vibrant Chardonnay with lively acidity, good concentration, spicy flavors, and good length." -Wine Advocate "This clean white displays flavors of smoke and spice, mixed with hints of apple pastry and apricot. There's a nice juiciness on the modest finish." -Wine Spectator "Clean and minerally, with stony aromas along with banana and pineapple. The palate is tight, clean and balanced, with flavors of green banana, papaya and apple. Finishes pithy and with a touch of fresh-grated white pepper." -Wine Enthusiast

Raimat Costers del Segre D.O. Viña 24 Albariño -- "With dusty apple cider aromas and tingling acidity, this seems a lot like Galician Albariño even though it's from Costers del Segre in Catalonia. Given its price, it boasts solid if pithy apple and gooseberry flavors, modest elegance and only a touch of bitterness on a green fruit finish." -Wine Enthusiast "Raimat Viña 24 is a wine which captures all the character of the Albariño grape variety. It is made from selected grapes from our best vineyards, harvesting them at night to preserve their aromas and freshness. This is a fruity wine with citrus and additional hint of sweet vanilla aromas. Agreeable on the mid-palate, with a citrussy finish that provides ample freshness. A perfect complement to dishes that contain white meat, fish, rice and pasta." -Winemaker's Notes
