ABOUT THIS WINE:

Alazules

Alazules

Airén

How can the number one most grown white varietal of wine remain so under the radar? While Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes enjoy worldwide fame, the Airén varietal sits modestly in the background and is largely unknown outside of the arid Spanish wine regions where it grows. But now, we have a crisp, dry, and easy-drinking offering to share with you. Enjoy this wine over early evening hors d’oeuvres of charcuterie, goat cheese, calamari, and pickled octopus. Airén’s light notes of white peach, apricot, Fuji apple, and elderflower offer a refreshing sweetness that pair well with summer porch evenings, Shakespeare in the Park, or patio brunches. Judges rave about this wine: it was awarded 95 points, a "Best of Class" nod, and a Double Gold medal (unanimous Gold from every judge!) at the 2019 Harvest Challenge.

WINE REGION:

Outline of Spain

Spain

While its reputation as a serious wine destination was eclipsed by France and Italy for many years, ignoring Spain today means missing out on some of the world's most exciting wines. Enjoying hundreds of miles of sun-kissed coastline and rocky interiors at higher elevations, Spain provides an ideal location for vineyards. Whether it is sparkling cavas from Catalonia, crisp Verdejos from Rueda, sublime Tempranillos from Ribera del Duero or inky Monastrells from Valencia, Spain has many wine styles to explore, all expressing the country's wildly unique terroir.
