Spanish Wine Collective

theyummybull.com/en/2026/03/25/… Chronicle from my last visit to Cortijo de los Aguilares in Ronda (Málaga). In this andalusian winery Bibi García crafts wines that perfectly reflect the terroir: Mediterranean, yet fresh and mountainous. And she does so with a unique personality, without bowing to fads or trends.

@ADHalliwell Nothing but marketing. The wines are so, so mediocre. Their top of the range tintos are so over-extracted.

Bodegas #Habla blinging it up for summer.

Wine of the week. Alan Nance is rewarded for venturing beyond his Penedès home territory in search of something sparkling. The prize was the Laietà Gran Reserva Brut Nature Cava by @ALTAALELLA spanishwinecollective.com/blog/alta-alel…

@AdrianJMcManus Voted!

Cast thy vote accordingly. Aúpa tú, Nacho!!

Chris Lynch introduces us to Arcos. En mi vida, macho. It must be one that we don’t have in Galicia, in spite of being home to 65% of all of Spain’s varieties. Not just a wild claim, I’ll have y’all know.

Wine of the week, Chris Lynch goes to one of our favourite producers, Rafael Cambra, and opens his Casalabor, a tinto made with the local variety Arcos. An elegant wine with flavours of red fruits and herbs, that evokes warmer days by the Mediterranean. spanishwinecollective.com/blog/casalabor…
