Details
The ‘Costa Alicante’ range is a delight with eye-popping bottles and the wine inside is equally as vibrant. This white blend has plenty of zesty lemon, green apple and dill notes at play, broadening across the palate with lemon skin, fleshy acidity and a lovely finishing weight.

The Bodegas Pinoso team is an odd team, you have the affable Irish man, David, who is great at chatting about all things wine with his dreamy accent, but don’t let that fool you as he slips into effortless Spanish when chatting to Miguel, the other half of their team. The winery is based in sunny Alicante, where they have a strong focus on organic management in the vineyard. Pinoso's vineyards are planted at an average of 600m above sea level. This elevation makes for cooler nights allowing their fruit to retain that all-important acidity needed for a balanced wine. The focus of Pinoso is Monastrell (AKA Mourvèdre or Mataro) which is well suited to warm climates and plenty of sun. They make delicious and colourful red and pink wines from this key variety as well as a mix of other varieties in the white space, including the ultra rare Merseguera. We recommend these delicious wines with some jambon or semi-hard cheese.

Pairing guide
We can’t get enough of this delicious white wine by Pinoso, which offers a real masterclass in balance and vibrancy alike. It’s the perfect white to pair with a wide range of tasty fish, shellfish, and white meat dishes - especially those that pack in plenty of fresh herbs and citrus flourishes - and it’s also going to be fantastic with green veggies and soft cheeses. Spring vegetable dishes, veggie fritters, stuffed chicken breast, and prawns on the barbecue will all also work as a treat.
