Cañus Verus Malvasia by Covitoro (2023) - 3½ ⭐ Maracuya on the nose, vanilla; something citric, not quite blood orange but close. Leaves behind a certain sweetness which might just be the passion fruit as well.... 1/2 🍷 #winesky #spanishwine @winesky.app
Rosat by Finca S'Olivaret (2025) - 3 ⭐ Melon-colored. Fennel, strawberry, roses, rose tea, fresh peanuts. Surprisingly lighter than the S’Olivaret Blanc. A “terrace in the summer” kind of wine. Rosé Wine from Mallorca via @winesky.app 🍷 #winesky #spanishwine #mallorca #callet #mantonegro
Blanc by Finca S'Olivaret (2024) - 3½ ⭐ Mineral, weed, granite… What’s that fruit? Lime if it’s colder, but I can’t place it at the start. Ash, when colder. Explosive, but it doesn’t last long.... 1/2 🍷 #winesky #spanishwine @winesky.app
MIM Natura Pinot Noir Brut Reserva by Vins El Cep (2022) - 3½ ⭐ Light strawberries; bit of bone, but almost nothing, and disappears when cold; something like grapefruit (and the latter is what you get if it’s colder).... 1/2 🍷 #winesky #spanishwine @winesky.app
Tardana by Finca Casa Lo Alto (2024) - 3½ ⭐ Lemon grass, slate, malted lemons, then more lemon. Wee bit of orange. Maybe it was too cold — I should give it another shot. (And create a list of wines to revisit) White Wine from Valencia via @winesky.app 🍷 #winesky #spanishwine #valencia #tardana
Cinco Hache by Vinícola de Arganda (2023) - 3 ⭐ Strawberries, some lemon. Overripe melon when warmer. Drinkable, but uninteresting — we barely touched the bottle. We may have had it at the wrong point in the day. White Wine from Madrid via @winesky.app 🍷 #winesky #spanishwine
Godello by Conde del Pazo (2025) - 3 ⭐ Fresh peaches. Pale. Drinkable and forgettable. White Wine from Castile and León via @winesky.app 🍷 #winesky #spanishwine #castileandleon #godello
Got my lips on one of my most favourite ales Rampart by Conwy Brewery, in the Lime Kiln #Liverpool via @winesky.app 🍺 #beersky #conwy #real ale #beer

Salinete Saca de Primavera by Finca La Melonera (2024) - 4 ⭐ Orange, deep, oily — smells like a middle point between a Palo Cortado and Orange wine. Fresh marzipan, if that’s even a thing. Almonds, green quince, just ripening.... 1/2 🍷 #winesky #spanishwine @winesky.app
Aureo Dulce Añejo by De Muller (N.V.) - 4½ ⭐ Caramel flan, figs, toffee, nuts, rum, toasted hazelnuts, fruit cake. Delightful by itself, but can get overshadowed by food. Fortified Wine from Tarragona (From Jun. 2021) via @winesky.app 🍷 #winesky #spanishwine #tarragona #garnacha
De La Finca by Raventós i Blanc (2022) - 3½ ⭐ Brioche, apple, some lime, some lemon peel, bone. Not great value at €20. Nice, but that’s it. Sparkling Wine from Catalonia via @winesky.app 🍷 #winesky #spanishwine #catalonia #xarello #macabeu #parellada

David VdB@vdbdavid.eurosky.social · last wk.Hi @winesky.app 👋 Could you clarify which features require the site.standard.* and app.bsky.authDeleteContent scopes? These scopes don’t look least-privileged to me, especially delete-content access. Curious about the rationale. Thx!
Obar by Bodegas y Viñedos Puente del Ea (2025) - 3½ ⭐ Sweet flowers, light herbs. Honeysuckle? Jasmine? When warmer: malted lemon, lots of honey, almost lychee — it gets mead-y. Very light, goes away quickly despite its 13%. I need to try it again. via @winesky.app 🍷 #winesky #spanishwine
Brut Nature by Mas Candi (2023) - 3 ⭐ Brioche, apple, pear? Not much bone. Fresh and that’s it. Sparkling Wine from Penedès via @winesky.app 🍷 #winesky #spanishwine #penedes #xarello #macabeo #sumoll #parellada
Hermanos Fernández Sendero del Monte by Bodega Tres Pilares (2023) - 3½ ⭐ Peach, fennel, pear, something saline… sugar? A bit of bell pepper, like the Mount Riley Sauvignon Blanc. Squeaks in as a 3.5, but barely. White Wine from Castilla y León via @winesky.app 🍷 #winesky #spanishwine
Verdejo by Bodegas Leganza (2025) - 3 ⭐ Lemon, lime, watered-down lemonade, green peach. An “it’s hot on the balcony and I don’t want to think about what I drink” wine. White Wine from Castilla-La Mancha via @winesky.app 🍷 #winesky #spanishwine #castillalamancha #verdejo
Verdejo by Avelino Vegas (2025) - 3½ ⭐ Wee bit of pineapple, slightly sweet pear, hay — and lots of it on the glass later. Close enough to Bravantino, I’d say. 3.5, even if price might bump it to 4. White Wine from Castilla y León via @winesky.app 🍷 #winesky #spanishwine #castillayleon #verdejo
Son D Sol by Bodegas Marisol Rubio (2024) - 4 ⭐ Pineapple, still yellowing. Mandarines, ripe. Sweet lime. It went smashingly with beef in oyster sauce, which made the pineapple in it ripen — it should work with umami in general.... 1/2 🍷 #winesky #spanishwine @winesky.app
Labor de Sol by Bodegas y Viñedos NOVOS (2020) - 4 ⭐ Plums, pepper, tobacco (but light), blackberry, incense, chocolate liqueur. So well integrated! And hard to argue with the value for such a solid Bobal — gets 4 just based on price-quality. Red... via @winesky.app 🍷 #winesky #spanishwine
Santón by Vinos al Margen (2019) - 4 ⭐ Rufete. Cashew, violets, butter, flowers, peppers — it’s like Malandrín Superior’s twink brother. I have it written down as 4 stars for weird, need to try it again. Red Wine from Castilla y León via @winesky.app 🍷 #winesky #spanishwine
Zorro de Menade by Menade (2025) - 3 ⭐ Apricot, green pears and then some, then ripe pear as it warms up. Fresh and drinkable but doesn’t have a lot going on. White Wine from Castilla y León via @winesky.app 🍷 #winesky #spanishwine #castillayleon #godello
Penedès Gewürztraminer - Muscat Mireia by Pinord (2020) - 4 ⭐ Muscat and Gewürztraminer blend. Lychee, some apricot (or maybe peach depending on temperature) lemon. Tasty and exceedingly reasonably priced, which buys it an extra... 1/2 🍷 #winesky #spanishwine @winesky.app
Perill de Perills by Clos Lentiscus (2021) - 3½ ⭐ Xarel-lo. Funky. Vegetables, mint, almonds, hay — a friend said “pig barn”, which I’m not sure was flattering. 3.5 by itself, 4 with a good pairing.... 1/2 🍷 #winesky #spanishwine @winesky.app
Albariño by Bodegas Lagar de Pintos (2025) - 3½ ⭐ Green apple, lemon, some other citrus I can place, like yuzu but not quite. Alive and zesty, if straightforward. White Wine from Galicia via @winesky.app 🍷 #winesky #spanishwine #galicia #albarino
Côtes de Provence Rosé by Domaine de Pontfract (2024) - 3½ ⭐ Strawberry first, with a sweet smell if it’s not cold enough. Dryer when colder. Melon, something like blood orange, with a bit more body than I expected. Acquits itself well.... 1/2 🍷 #winesky #frenchwine @winesky.app
l'infinit by Recaredo (2023) - 3½ ⭐ Lemon — zesty and fresh. Something smoky I can’t place. If it’s too warm, it may end up smelling like feet, almost natural-like, but so you shouldn’t let it go that way … unless you’re into that sort of thing. via @winesky.app 🍷 #winesky #spanishwine
Brut Reserva by Torelló (N.V.) - 3½ ⭐ Pale yellow. Talcum, brioche, chalk, licorice. Clean, short, leaves a slight sweetness behind. 3.5 overall, 4 on price-quality. Sparkling Wine from Penedès via @winesky.app 🍷 #winesky #spanishwine #penedes
