Regional info
Cariñena is one of the oldest appellations in Spain designated in 1932. Located in the heart of the Ebro river valley and characterized by an enduring wind called “Cierzo”, Cariñena benefits from a continental climate combined with different level of altitudes which are the excellent attributes for vine growing.

The main body of this review is the body of this fabulous wine. Myself and my partner were having an evening together, enjoying a fine bowl of Crunchy Nut Cornflakes (semi skimmed milk of course) and had this fabulous accoutrement to our meal. The vinegary over tones matched the honey sweetness fabulously. Almost like a sweet and sour pork dish, although a little more milky. Having drunk some of the winest fines from the Oddbins specials list this little number is well up there for price, tang and bearable hangover. BUY NOW !

I like this wine because of its fruity flavouring and it goes well with fish and its medium body makes it a wine to drink on its own.

This wine taste very acidy. It may be cheap, but I have tasted much better wines at this price.. Would not recommend buying this wine at any price, and will probably throw the rest of the bottles away

A medium bodied dry Spanish white. Enough flavour and character to sit it next to a Chardonnay but lighter in nature. Really drinkable for all palettes and cleverly packaged with its surrounding metal wire mesh that makes if look much posher than the price!

excellent value for money, light, refreshing with a real honey flavour.
"Gran Seleccin" = Poor Blend?

Very differing tastes over the past 6 / 8 months and from recent bottles the wine was very metallic tasting. Only purchased again when 50% off to give one final try. Will not be buying again.
