THE BEST BUY RIGHT NOW

Right now this bandit bottle from Spain is the best buy you will get at Vinmonopolet. Quality vs. Price. It only costs 139 kr and holds an impressing quality for that humble amount of cash.

We get a lot of questions on wine, and most are on finding a good wine for a good price. And that's tricky; more than you could expect. Finding fantastic wines, if price is not an issue, is a walk in the park. Flip the premises and things quickly become tricky. Nevertheless, here it is: proff that quality could be found, even in the lower price ranges.

Mas Buscados, means "Most wanted" and are the names of a series of wines produced in the southern half of Spain, La Mancha to be more specific. 
It's made out of six selected vineyards, where they vinify the grapes into three different wines. 1/3 of these wines are fermented on oak barrels and they all get four months ageing on the remains of the pressed grapes.

The result is quite impressive, with smell and taste that reminds us of more expensive stuff from Rhone and Burgundy. 

They've added a humorous touch to the label, making it easy for us wine drinkers to remember them. The whole gangster theme is well done and quite funny.

Tasting Notes

Más Buscados Macabeo Sobre Lias 2015

Golden sunset ish on colour. Already here you get the vibes from Burgundy/Rhone.
Intriguing fragrances of ripe yellow fruits, dried apricots and figs. There is a hint of butter and oak barrel somewhere in the back.
Rich entry in the mouth with tastes of tropical ripe yellow fruits and melons. Long lasting and playful aftertaste.

This beauty drinks great on her own, but can accompany shellfish, white fish dishes and even poultry. 

Stock up! Summer's here :)
