Small producers have to push their way through a tiny gap in the market to get their wines noticed and appreciated and some succeed!

Wine critics are currently drooling over the wines from the Canary Islands that are grown on lava soils, and we can understand why.

We are now hearing about wines that are “fermented in concrete tanks” or “aged in amphorae” or, my favourite “aged in the concrete egg”.

Sweet wine. Often unappreciated and considered the underdog of wines, relegated to the top shelf and rarely requested.

In Spain there is one grape variety that reigns above all others, garnacha (also known as grenache). Spain is garnacha!!

There is a time of the year in every vineyard when a great deal of effort, knowledge, skill and physical work comes into play, harvest time.

A great part of our job, maybe the best part, is going out into the fields and taking a look at the vineyards.
