Summary
As in previous years and ahead of this year’s Giro and Tour, we tasked Greg Andrews of Dvine Cellars with plotting our oenological odyssey – in this case with the help of Dvine’s Spanish expert in residence, their Canaries-born and raised Caledonian, Angus McNab.
In this episode of The Cycling Podcast, we take a break from our daily Vuelta coverage to taste the wines and hear Greg and Angus justify and in some cases defend their choices. The selection itself can be ordered from Dvine Cellars.
The six wines are as follows, in the order that they ‘appear’ on the Vuelta route:
- Bat Gara, Uno Txakoli, Basque Country
- Bodegas Tobía, Reserva, Rioja (2014 Gran Reserva also available)
- Raúl Pérez, 'Ultreia Saint Jacques', Mencía, Bierzo
- Telmo Rodriguez, Al-Muvedre Tinto, Monastrell, Alicante
- Callejuela, Hacienda de Dona Francisca, Palomino de Flor, Sanlúcar de Barrameda
- Bodegas Bernabeleva, Camino de Navaherreros Blanco, Madrid
