Aguijon de Abeja Fusion Blancas Reina
$18.19
That name is a mouthful, but trust us - it is worth remembering! The Fusion is an Argentine blend of Chardonnay, Torrontes and Semillon.
Hector and Pablo Durigutti are the winemakers behind the Aguijón de Abeja wines. Hector started at Alto Las Hormigas at the age of 15 and has completed 25 projects at various well-known wineries, learning old-world techniques and agriculture. Pablo started at La Rural, a winery now owned by Catena, and the Durigutti brothers source their fruit for the Aguijon wines from vineyards located in three different regions, striving for the optimal conditions for each variety (all vineyards are organically farmed).
Ortega Rioja Rosado
$15.99
Their story began with Quintín Ortega in 1986. A humble figure with some good ideas and the determination to carry them out, he decides to plant vines and start what is now the winery, led by his great-grandson, Carmelo Ortega. In the 90s, Carmelo established the winery headquarters in an old house that served as a winery for many years, now a site where an enotourism project is being developed to encourage tourism in the region. Their property covers approximately 700 hectares of scrubland, almond fields and vineyards, all of which are sheltered by the nearby mountains, which create climatic conditions that include a reduced risk of frost and a controlled level of humidity in the summer. This set of features and factors, together with the characteristics of the soil (pebbles, low organic matter), creates a unique grape-growing microcosm, which has allowed them to develop the “village wine” style they are looking for to define the wines of Tudelilla (the village where they are situated in the heart of the Rioja Baja region).. A blend of 90% Garnacha and 10% Viura, this wine has ripe and floral notes, with hints of tropical fruit (grapefruit, passion fruit and orange peel). Serve as an aperitif or cold dishes.

A lush textured mouthfeel with rhubarb, ripe strawberry, and fragrant apple blossom notes and bone dry with a long finish. Pair with a wide array of foods, like poultry, creamy dishes or light pasta.
