Wine Wisdom Class 7
Vivat Bacchus
Italy
1. Manzanilla "Las Medallas" Herederos de Argueso
DO - Manzanilla Sanlucar de Barrameda, Andalucia
Yummy, salty and nutty.
2. Bodegas Ametzoi, Pais Vasco, Txacoli di Getaria 2009
Basque Country
Very pale. Floral and apple nose. Some petillance on the palate. Refreshing, acidic. Good length. Good and simple. Easy to drink but a little overpriced at £12ish.
3. Martin Codax, Albarino 2008
DO - Rias Baixas, Galicia
Very floral with crisp, refreshing acidity. Perfect with seafood.
4. Bodegas Urbina, Rioja Crianza 2004
Ripe red fruit. Noticeable oak and tobacco on nose. Smooth mouthfeel - apart from oaky, textured finish. Good acid.
5. Mencia "Petalos" 2008
Bierzo, Castilla y Leon
Floral, aromatic and perfumed. Lots of red fruit and more complex flavours - like a meaty stew. Good length, dusty texture. Very good.
6. Warres "Otima" 10-year old tawny port
Douro Valley, Portugal
Nuts, almonds, marzipan, red fruit. Sweet. Served chilled.
