Buying a good red, white or rosé wine at a supermarket price is possible. Nowadays, you can find affordable bottles, which do not exceed 10 euros, and that do not compromise on quality. The sommelier María José Huertas selects seven varied wines, some acidic, fruity or sweet, with which you can accompany any meal.
It is in the middle of a pandemic when a group of young people try to democratize wine and this Albariño is part of the result. It is a beautiful expression of this grape that appreciates the lees so much and its qualities are better respected without aging in barrels. Yellow in color with greenish reflections. On the nose you can appreciate apple, hints of apricot, white flowers and smoky notes. Its palate is unctuous on the palate, with a good fruit load and a mineral finish with a pinch of salinity.
This red wine from Toro, highly awarded in different competitions, represents a jovial expression of the prevailing variety in the area. Its stay in barrels, especially American, does not take away one bit of prominence from the freshness and fruit. It is very intense in color, with a dominance of strawberry and raspberry, licorice and floral touches. The palate has good balance and soft, juicy tannins.
This is a red wine from one of the most emblematic wineries of the DO Ribeiro. Their vineyards are located in the Avia Valley, settled on soils of granitic sand, clay and slate. In it we find a good exponent of youth with notes of fresh red fruits, flowers, field herbs and mineral notes. In the mouth the tannins are smooth, the acidity is vertical and the finish is somewhat herbaceous and mineral.
As always in the case of Andalusian fortified wines, it is a gift. This wine is made by an emblematic winery of the appellation and using a selection of Pedro Ximénez grapes. It is aged by the traditional system of criaderas and soleras. The result is a wine with an oily and rustic touch on the nose that gives it personality. The nose brings us the aromas of flower veil, almond and dried flowers. The palate is dry, sharp and with pleasant bitterness in its long finish.
Bruno Colomer is the producer of this fruity white wine, dominated by the Chardonnay grape and seasoned with the floral notes that the Gewürztraminer gives it. In its production it has not been aged in barrels, thus being distinguished by its varietal aromas. The nose offers citrus touches such as lemon and grapefruit, pineapple, apple and white flowers. In the mouth it is fluid and sweet in the palate, with good acidity and a perfumed finish.
The Rivero family is responsible for the production of this wine that is born in Nava de Roa. Old vineyards, good altitude and aging for 12 months in French and American oak are key ingredients for a very enjoyable red wine. The nose seduces with candied black fruit, earthy notes, spices and fine memories of oak. The palate is sapid, its tannins are silky and it enjoys good acidity on the palate.
Very pale pink wine in color and delicate as a whole. The freshness on the palate and its fragrant nose are surprising. It is made with the first must and by bleeding, thus obtaining that pale pink tone. Its vineyards are at high altitude. It is very perfumed, highlighting the notes of red berries, floral aromas, yogurt, red candy and balsamic touches. In the mouth it is very refreshing, juicy and with a somewhat sweet finish. A rosé wine that is a gift.
