Marqués de Riscal Sauvignon Blanc 2013, Rueda — €14.49
The reason is fairly simple, Spain is producing some of the most interesting and exciting wines at the moment and its mix of the traditional and the new is very hard to resist.
To begin with the traditional: Sr José Luis Muguiro of the Marqués de Riscal family gave an interesting (and gossipy) masterclass on his family’s wines recently. Sr Muguiro learned his English as a teenager while living on a dairy farm in Riverstick in Co Cork for a few months.
