Monastero Suore Cistercensi

Coenobium Lazio Bianco Trebbiano Blend

Really clean, like Asturias pear cider. Especially because it had some carbonation when I opened it and the cork blew up like a champagne mushroom. Paired w/ mushroom ragù over cheesy polenta — 7 years ago

Pesico Blanco

Very savoury. Med body. — 9 years ago

Monasterio de Corias

Finca Los Frailes Mencía Blend 2012

Field blend of Albarín Negro, Mencía, Carrasquín and Verdejo Negro. Steep and slate soiled slope. Neutral barrels. Bright acidity to boost the black cherry fruit, easy tannins, and just enough wet slate rusticity. My favorite of their cuvées. — 10 years ago

20 Manzanas Frost Cider

Unlike ice cider or frost cider made in the United States and Canada, apples are frozen using refrigeration technology meaning the frost only goes one way--in. In nature, apples will freeze, thaw, freeze partially and unfreeze partially, moving sugars throughout the apples. You'll notice a difference in style here because the producer oxidizes the cider as a way to compensate for the artificial freezing process, but it's still a delightful dessert choice on a list. A rep told me to pour it over vanilla ice cream, but I'd rather just drink it straight. Notes of oak, caramel and baked fruit, it reminds me of a dreamy blend of sherry and Madeira. — 10 years ago

Monasterio de Corias

Guilfa Vino de la Tierra de Cangas Verdejo Negro Carrasquin

A Cangas blend of Carrasquín and Verdejo Negro from old vines on steep slate slopes. Stashed in new and 2nd use French oak for under a year, for a total of 2000 bottles. This is like a cool climate Priorat - dark fruit and slate, firm acid, light tannins and only 13.5%!

Still very young at 3 years, but cellaring will only improve it.

Sidra Acebal

El Carrascu Sidra de Asturias

This is fantastic. I feel like this is what all these orange winemakers aspire to taste like. I get great fresh apple then a huge hit of funky barnyard with a nice and tart finish. Nothing like a US cider. — 10 years ago
