The WineSpark Starter Case
Member Price €267.11
What twelve wines could possibly give you the ideal introduction to WineSpark? I had to think long and hard about this one!
I'm glad to say I've come up with a collection of amazing wines that proudly represents the ethos of WineSpark and its winemakers. Not forgetting the 10 years of sweat and tears it’s taken to get here :)
You’ll find a wide range of styles here - from big, strong reds to light and elegant ones; from crisp whites to rich and refined. Some fizz too!
But you’re also guaranteed unbelievable quality and passionate, authentic winemaking right through it. Here’s what you’ll get:
- La Mateo Rioja Tempranillo Vendimia 2021 - Mateo's flagship wine - from 50 year old vines and spending 14 months in French and American oak, making it a classic mellow, fruity, smoky and powerful Rioja
-
Mas Calamiac Minervois La Livinière 2022 - from one of the highest regarded regions of the Languedoc, this is the perfect WineSpark red. It's dark, savoury and oh-so drinkable. It's organic and biodynamic too!
- Meltwater Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023 - Think the bright tropical fruit of New Zealand, with the texture and minerality of a great Sancerre
-
Lorca Poético Malbec 2021 - a powerful red from Mendoza, aged for 12 months in French and American oak, and a further year and a half in bottle before release
-
Tim Smith Bugalugs Shiraz 2022 - from premium Barossa fruit that would normally go into wine that fetches a far higher price, this is a classic Aussie Shiraz - ripe, bold and powerful, with plenty of sweet dark fruit and a savoury edge
- Marchiori Prosecco Superiore 2023 - Prosecco as it used to be made - from five ancient grape varieties, from steep hilly sites with a wonderful mixture of soils
- Luis Louro Alento Reserva 2020 - from Alentejo in Portugal, for me the best value wine region around. Smooth and sumptuous, this is perfect for cosying up by the fire
-
Stepp Pinot Noir Buntsandstein 2022 - one of our most popular reds, from the up-and-coming Pfalz region in Germany. It's aged in Grand Cru Burgundy oak barrels, which makes it even more luxurious
- Cillar de Silos Ribera del Duero Crianza 2020 - a rich, polished Tempranillo which is the house wine in high-end restaurants across northern Spain - an amazing example of affordable and approachable Ribera
- Mantel Blanco Verdejo 2023 - fresh, crisp and delicious, the most versatile white wine - unbelievably drinkable on its own, but goes with so many dishes
-
A Coroa Godello 2023 - my white wine discovery of the year, from the magical Valdeorras region in Galicia. If you like Albariño or Chablis, you’ll love this
-
Stepp Riesling Vom Saumagen 2021 - from one of Germany’s best Riesling vineyards, wines made from plots right beside this have got 100 Parker Points and sell for big bucks. It’s soft, creamy and tropical, with gorgeous texture and minerality
