Yemanueva Airén de Pie Franco, Bodega La Tercia - 2023

Item # 33774 750 mL

The white Airén grape is an old variety from the La Mancha region, which is about an hour south of Madrid. This is a rare find, as the vines come from pre-Phylloxera (100-year-old) vines and the older the vines, the more complex the wine becomes. Dry and mineraled on the palate with aromas of yellow plums and flowers. Easy-drinking and especially easy with olives and cheese.

Staff Pick Notes

The perfect wine for those looking to capture the sub $10 options readily available in Europe. Airén is a very versatile variety commonly used in brandy production and as raisins, but in this sense it produces a wonderful direct white option for any occasion. Lightly floral, with a balanced acidity to match with a wide variety of options. Pair this up solo with a good movie, or as a compliment to a charcuterie board, or even place it on the table next to a roasted branzino. Don't think too hard on it, just crack this open cold and enjoy.

Glossary

Spain

Central to the Spanish winemaking philosophy is the belief that wine should be released only when it is ready to be consumed, and not a moment before. Spanish wine law focuses squarely on this issue: the terms Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva are highly regulated indicators of the amount of time a wine has aged prior to its release. In Rioja, Navarra, and the Ribera del Duero (which have the most stringent requirements) red Crianzas must be aged a minimum of two years; Reservas, at least three...
