There are so many tiny new wine regions to explore and winemakers making the most of old vines and forgotten grapes. John Radford (The New Spain) writes: “Spanish wine is more vibrant, happening and fascinating than it has ever been.” This modern Merlot is one of a new breed seducing wine drinkers with its easy drinking charm. It comes from the high altitude vineyards of inland Valencia, where soils are poor (just what the vines need), while abundant sunshine by day and cool nights help the grapes retain their freshness. This is a great bottle to enjoy any time. Smooth enough to quaff solo, it’s also great with kebabs or roasted vegetables.
