Seasonal Wine Case | Vibrance

Vibrance of Spanish Wines

A lively selection of Spain’s finest, from the zesty Bodegas Terras Gauda "O Rosal" and elegant Palacios Louro Godello, to the fresh Joan d’Anguera "Planella" and balanced ViñaArdanza Reserva. Bold reds include the full-bodied Bodegas Protos, Gran Reserva, 2015. Each bottle bursts with energy, freshness, and character.

The case includes:

Bodegas Terras Gauda, "O Rosal", 2024

O Rosal shows attractive mandarin and orange peel fruit along with juicy pear and ripe peach on the nose. On the palate it has a strong stony mineral streak with a fresh citrus finish.

• Blend of 70% Albariño, 23% Caíño Blanco, 7% Loureira Blanca

Bodegas Rafael Palacios, Louro Do Bolo, Godello, 2024

The 2024 is bright and pithy – the nose packed with lime zest, crisp green apple and sea spray. The palate is taut and intense, limey, pure and long, the layers of fruit complementing its backbone of minerality. This is still a baby and will flesh out in bottle, the light spritz disappearing and developing more of its trademark waxy, honeyed tones

"Remarkable precision on the palate, with both opulence and salinity. Delicate mineral notes, fluid and elegant. Subtle hints of quince, chalk, and crystalline purity. An exceptionally refined vintage. Astonishing that such beauty can be achieved at a scale of 210,000 bottles."
-Jancis Robinson

Joan d'Anguera "Planella", 2022

Planella shows a deep ruby color with a violet rim, reflecting its youth and vibrancy. On the nose, it reveals layers of dark berries like bilberries and cherries, along with damson plum. There are subtle touches of citrus peel, wild herbs, spice, and a trace of bitter cocoa that add complexity. On the palate, it’s fresh and quietly expressive, with smooth tannins and lively acidity. The finish is long and slightly earthy, suggesting both energy and the promise of evolution in the bottle.

Bodegas Protos, Gran Reserva, 2015

Expressive and complex nose. The tertiary aromas evoke a big range of smells that reminds us of jam, cocoa, tobacco, mineral notes, tofee with slightly smoked hints. On the palate, round tannins with long after palate. Good aging potential. This wine leaves a very elegant and silky after palate, typical of Protos Gran Reserva.

• 100% Tempranillo
