Wines from Spain

It used to be that Spanish wine sales would peak just after the summer months as people returned from their holidays, fired up with enthusiasm for the wines they quaffed so readily by the pool, only to find that the versions available here were but poor shadows of what they had found abroad. Of course, we all know that part of the attraction lies in the very fact that, on holiday, we are so much more forgiving of a wine’s faults or dullness but a larger problem had less to do with rose-tinted holiday spectacles and rather more to do with the actual quality of the wines being exported to the UK. Thankfully, things have completely changed over the past few years and we urge you to try these seriously characterful and rewarding wines.
