Eclectico Puesta en Cruz Sobre Lias, El Hato y El Garabato
£19.95
Arribes is a region we don’t hear much about here in the UK, tucked away on the border with Portugal on the Duero/Douro river, it is often overlooked. However, there are some interesting things happening there…
José Manuel Beneitez and his partner Liliana have spent several years travelling the World and working in vineyards from The Barossa Valley to California. They have now returned to his grandparents land to make first class wines.
Finding an old vineyard, new to them, of just Puesta en Cruz (Rabigato), winemaker, Jose, decided to keep this wine simple. Made in stainless steel and ages on lees for a short period, the wine is bursting with fresh citrus acidity and aromatics. Richness and smoky complexity comes form the lees, and results in a wine of balance and one that’s great with food.
This has a lovely savoury nuttiness which goes particularly well with cheese; perfect with rind-washed soft cheeses or a hard sheep’s cheese.

Fiano, Caiaffa
Caiaffa works to the principle of synergistic agriculture. They believe that nature is man's greatest collaborator, and that nature maintains balance. Certified organic, they do not use insecticides or pesticides in order to encourage a balanced ecosystem and work at one with nature.
They are especially protective of the insects which live on and around their vines; they work in harmony with them and have established a symbiotic relationship in which both parties benefit. For the bugs make it possible for micro-oxygenation and provide the means for nutrients needed to make passage through the soil. This is reflective in their branding and their packaging.Caiaffa is located in Cerignola, a coastal town in the beautiful Tavoliere delle Puglie, northern Puglia. The Tavoliere area was once completely submerged in sea water, which has influenced a very special climate, in abundance of flora and fauna. The soils here are rich in limestone and the vines benefit from the mild Mediterranean weather. Through these wines, you can truly taste the authentic flavour of the land.
A lively and fresh white wine, with delicate flavours and aromas of ripe citrus fruit, stone fruits and white flowers. Great acidity and well balanced with a lovely long finish.
A great aperitif wine or perfect with salads, asparagus or light fish and shellfish dishes.

This is a great value certified organic wine from the Castano family in South East Spain. This Macabeo (known as Viura further north in Spain and Macabeu in France) is a lovely light, fresh wine with good depth of citrus flavours. A versatile food wine with enough flavour to stand up to some spice but also delicious on it’s own!
