Airen is the most widely planted white variety in Spain and it has some very important uses, mainly to be distilled and used as the fortifying sprit in Sherry and as the base wine for brandy production. Plus it gets used in all sorts of industrial products. Lots of table wine also gets made from it, and to be honest most of it is rubbish that you wouldn’t serve to anyone. However, this one is the exception tat proves the rule and is quite good. Perhaps its the organic practices, or perhaps just good management.
Very light colour in the glass with a fresh nose of nettles and sweet pear. Not all that complex in the mouth, but fresh and balanced with a bit of texture. More pears in the mouth with some lemon and herbs towards the finish. The finish goes on for a bit. A good, inexpensive by the glass house wine or BBQ quaffer. 86 Pts.

hi dave looking at the guys of winorama celebrating 3000;in about a month or so you will be 300 spanish tasting i think its a milestone worth celebrating agree?
Hey Marcelo,
I actually hit the 300 mark about a month ago, but the site will be 2 years old in a couple of weeks…maybe I should put together some kind of quiz/prize to celebrate?
according to your counter you are up to 275 “SPANISH” wines is that wrong?
Thats right, but the total number of tasting notes is 319. That includes Portuguese wines as well.
Hi everybody! I do not know where to begin but hope this site will be useful for me.
In first steps it’s really good if someone supports you, so hope to meet friendly and helpful people here. Let me know if I can help you.
Thanks and good luck everyone!
