Staff Pick Notes

If you have not yet tried the wines of Pablo Matallana, please do yourself a favor. They are really something else. This is definitely an experience - a magical skin contact wine, restrained yet intense. Made from Lístan Blanco, a variety native to the island, there's a sort of saline, dried peach vibe that's a subtle stand out among the flavors. The soils on the island of Lanzarote are volcanic. The landscape is extremely arid and windswept. These geographic qualities definitely present themselves in this bottle. We often talk about terroir driven wines in the wine business and this is an ideal example, unique, delicious and totally demonstrative of its place.

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.

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...

Blanco

White tequila, an official type (tipo) for tequila bottled fresh from the still, or allowed to rest in stainless steel tanks for up to sixty days before bottling. It is never aged in wooden barrels. Also known as plata, plato, and silver tequila. Usually the most robust, strong-flavoured of the tequila types.
