Pretty aromas of white peach, lemon, apple and melon. Clean and crisp with Granny Smith and stonefruit notes in a lovely easy-drinking style with soft acidity and a juicy finish.

Perla del Mar is the white sibling to the tasty Perla Negra. It comes from a special coastal vineyard called La Marina, 35 miles from Alicante. The wine’s delightfully fresh and fruity style is thanks to the grape selection (mainly the fragrant and ‘grapey’ Moscatel), the fact that the vineyards are surrounded by sea to the north, south and east, and, finally, to the modern methods of talented winemaker Pamela Geddes. Having been in charge of sparkling wine production for Seppelt in Australia, she knows all about keeping flavours crisp and fruity in warm climates. Perla del Mar is an elegant, refreshing wine with a vibrant, lime zest core and hints of lychee and other tropical fruits. It’s the archetypal summer apéritif – all year round!

A vibrant dry white with a smooth mid palate feel and zingy acidity. A blend of Parellada and White Grenache grapes. Brilliant very pale straw colour with a subtle glimmer of green around the edges and a watery hue. Spicy pear and red apple skin aromas mix with citrus and quince like notes. Vibrant fleshy pear and red apple fruits are underpinned by zingy acidity with some quince and spice characters also chiming in. Smooth river stone like mid palate feel finishing dry with a gentle tang. Drink over the next year. Alc. 12%
