What's Just Landed

Wines from Casa Ventura Imports with Basilio Rodriguez & Katie

On Friday Katie came in with Basilio from Casa Ventura Imports...wines from Spain.  They were on point!  We have the Marques de la Concordia Brut Rosé Nature in the shop...love it.

Here are the rest that will be coming in on Thursday the 3rd. 

2018 Bodegas Edetaria "Via Terra" Garnacha Blanca Terra Alta Catalonia $16

Notes:  Yellow, straw-colored, clean and bright. Fresh fruit, specially bouquet of apricot, melon, pear on syrup and cinnamon. Strong mouth entrance with a big fruit explosion. In the mouth is sweet-toothed. Highly fresh, very integrated acidity and a very especial end that brings up to the mouth a long and persistent finish.

Excellent with seafood, alive oysters, grilled prawns, as well as rice and grilled fish.

2019 Finca os Cabatos Godello $19

Notes:  A highly aromatic wine showing zesty citrus aromas combined with ripe stone fruits, a mineral sensation and hint of white pepper. Dry with a refreshing crisp palate of pineapple, tropical fruits and a delicious, dry, citrus finish.

 2018 Finca Torremilanos Monte Castrillo Rosado $16

Notes:  This rosé shows the color and structure of a light red, delivering cherry, leafy, ginger and earthy flavors, backed by firm acidity and light, firm tannins. Old-school and made for food.

2019 Bodegas Edetaria Via Terra Negra Garnatxa $17

Notes:  Via Terra Garnacha is a medium body red wine, with great minerality and pleasant red fruit flavors running from strawberries to red currants to sweet cranberries.

2018 Finca os Cabatos Mencia $15

Notes:  One of the oldest vineyards in the area, the estate is planted to the regions signature varieties: Godello for white and Mencía for red. This wine shines with the grape's signature freshness and tell-tale herbaceous hints. This Mencía is softer than those from Bierzo; it has juicy acidity and a light frame--almost reminiscent of Beaujolais. The nose shows strawberry, red fruit, and forest.

2016 Finca Torremilanos Torrre Albeniz Reserva $37

Notes:  The 2016 Torremilanos Reserva combines the signature perfume notes of the Ribera de Duero region with the structure and minerality from 86 years old vines in Finca Torremilanos. Notes of plums and ripe red fruits in the nose of this rich Tempranillo. The palate is full-bodied with abundant fine-grained tannins and a velvety juicy texture.

 

As I said, all wines will be in the shop as of Thursday the 3rd!
