I’ve recently been tweeting and posting (as well as a Cork Talk a couple of weeks ago) about how it would be good if we could help the smaller wine producers here in Spain. They’ve had, and are having, a very difficult time, so much so that I’m quite nervous about looking at my various wine related news feeds, hoping not to hear of any small, family bodegas that have gone under! So far I haven’t and I’m hopeful that my bringing their plight to readers’ attention may have helped at least a few?
Now, though, I want to bring it a little more local, not by saying the same thing of course – the above, the tweets, posts and my recent article included local producers as well as those throughout the whole country. Today though, I’m going to spotlight just a few local producers by telling readers about some of their white wines that I’ve been so enjoying during the lockdown, from which we are emerging ‘poco a poco’.
NB tomorrow, Saturday, June 6 is the day for my Wine Show on www.valleyfm.es – I hope you can join me for some great music, some nostalgic tracks and some right up to date; four or five different wines, including the Valley FM Supermarket Wine of the Week; and some Wine-Speak busting too!
