Valencia

Delicate orange-pink in colour, this wine is all about strawberries and cream. It has the texture and the weight to be a brilliantly food-friendly rosé and, unsurprisingly given its origin, could stand up to a flavoursome paella, or perhaps salmon with a sweet chilli glaze.

The finish is dry and moreish however with a savoury twist. This is a rosé that could be enjoyed right through to the autumn, and beyond.

One word summarises the Mustiguillo message and that is Bobal, one of the greatest and most under-rated Spanish grape varieties, now on the cusp of a renaissance. Mustiguillo is a family project, dedicated to organic viticulture and the pursuit of elegance and finesse rather than excess oak and the like. A well-rehearsed mantra maybe, but one that does not have many adherents of such pedigree.

Located on terraced escarpments of ancient Dolomite limestone, the vineyards of Quincha Corral are seen by many as the definitive statement of the Bobal varietal. The bonus of the superlative 2012 vintage underlines this statement with a deeply coloured wine, its rich, smoky, floral aromas and luxuriant, grippy mouth-feel harnessing an ensemble that has a long and successful life to look forward to.
