Sol de Valencia Gewürztraminer 2018

Valencia DO

A new-release that beautifully shows off Gewurztraminer's exotic, aromatic charms. Ripe, rounded and fresh too, and very rare in Spain. An exciting find from a cellar that specialises in ‘old treasure’ vineyards. A characterful, lightly spiced white.

If you like a white with lots of personality – tasty spice, exotic fruit and nicely rounded – choose Gewurztraminer. This Spanish rarity has freshness too, and makes a perfect partner for spicy Thai stir-fry or peppered squid. And it’s a charming aperitif as well. It comes from the excellent La Viña cellar, where Marta Martínez is winemaker. Our Buyer Beth dropped by and was offered a glass to revive her in the 40 degree heat. Boom - Beth was smitten. The wine has explosive flavours of marmalade, orange peel and lychee, with a truly zingy finish. As critic Will Lyons wrote "in mid summer, as the temperatures rise and dusk falls later, a glass of chilled Gewurz is exactly what the palate craves". Great solo or with spicy or creamy dishes.

"Pretty blossom fruit with so much character. Lovely and different as an aperitif or with food" Beth Willard
