La Salada & Ve d´Avior Tasting

La Salada & Ve d´Avior Tasting

Come and join us for a tasting on Saturday July 8th, around 12pm. A Refreshing Summery Spanish Wine Tasting if you will – and we hope you will.

The air starts to fill up with smells of sun lotion and bare skin, which means summer is here and we are graciously enjoying the longest days of the year. And the longer our days, the more opportunities there are for feasting al fresco. Crisp summer salads as well as grill-marked vegetables and protein can’t be missing at the table, and neither can chilled wine. As Tom Wambsgans from Succession put it: “You know that very cold glass of wine? I f*ng love that!”

Well, here’s the good news. A shipment of wines came in fresh from Catalunya, provided by our friends from La Salada. In their biodynamic vineyards in Penedès, winemakers Toni and Anna Carbó make sure the soil is as alive and kicking as the wines it brings forth. All of their wines are fermented with the skins and yet retain plentiful freshness and thirst-quenchingness. And yes, they go amazingly well with salty foods and salads – it’s in the name – not to mention grilled fish.

Taste for yourself. In fact, do so together with us on July 8th at 12pm, when we organize a tasting to try a selection of Spanish wines.

Featuring:

Ve d’Avior (Cati Ribot) | Malvasia 2022 | €30,00

‘Malvasia de Banyalbufar’, to be precise. This contemporary yet elegant white wine revives this local grape variety ‘from the past’, now living life to the fullest.

Ve d’Avior (Cati Ribot) | Son Llebre Blanc 2022 | €24,50

If it wasn’t for third-generation winemaker Cati, her vineyards would still yield the usual, international grape varieties. Thank goodness this is not a mediocre Chardonnay and an exciting blend of Giró Ros and Malvasia instead!

Ve d’Avior (Cati Ribot) | Son Llebre Negre 2021 | €23,75

A balanced red cuvée, showcasing all the original red grapes from Mallorca: Escursac, Callet and Callet Negrella.

Ve d’Avior (Cati Ribot) | Bosqueta 2022 | €24,50

At the heart of this pét-nat is a concoction of early-harvest Giró Ros and late-harvest Prensal Blanc, adding up to wonderful tension and complexity.

Ve d’Avior (Cati Ribot) | Cambuix 2021 | €23,50 (1L)

After a hailstorm hit the vineyard, Cati harvested the surviving grapes (Callet, Escursac, Gorgollassa, Esperó de Gall and Mantonegro) and direct-pressed them to make this heroic rosé.

La Salada | La Barraca 2022 | €35,75

A zesty orange pét-nat made from Garnatxa Blanca. A playful start to (yet another) long summer evening.

La Salada | El Pagès Content Orange 2022 | €17,50

A skin-contact Macabeo tasting funky, tart and as cheerful as the label – reading ‘The Happy Farmer’ – suggests.

La Salada | Sota Els Ametllers 2022 | €31,50

Giving the floor to the now iconic Malvasia grape, this outspoken and aromatic orange wine wins you over in a sec.

Ramon Jané | Ovella Negra 2021 | €21,00

A hearty wine, combining Garnatxa Blanca and Malvasia, proving once again how Catalunya triumphs in making delicious and accessible orange wines.

Ramon Jané | Baudili Blanc | €17,50

Usage of Cava-stars Macabeo and Xarel.lo and cold fermentation guarantee natural freshness. With this ecstatic wine Ramon brings a true party to the table.
