26 Oct 2026La Floridita 2024 by Suertes del Marqués
A Listán Negro from Tenerife's Valle de La Orotava: light, fresh, and with a finesse you'd normally pay twice as much for. My bet: the best Canary red under €20?

16 Oct 2026Domaine Joubert Bourgogne Blanc 2021
A Bourgogne Blanc bottled deep in Beaujolais: natural Chardonnay from the Joubert family, with an almost oily texture, butter and a just-baked baguette.

8 Oct 2026Mirando al Sur 2020
Viura from 75-year-old vines in Labastida, aged in two Fino and Amontillado butts. Olivier Rivière’s white Rioja is salty, nutty and goes on for ages.

5 Oct 2026Burgmann Olivia 2022
A Listán Blanco from northern Tenerife, aged on lees in barrel, that smells of dry leaves after rain and is still there an hour later. Not even pudding could shift it.

5 Oct 2026Michael Candelario Blanco 2025
The cult white from Puntagorda, on La Palma, hunted down across the islands, mainland Spain and abroad. The third vintage from a 26-year-old grower.

18 Aug 2026Todos Blanco 2024
306 bottles of a Gran Canaria white made from listán blanco, malvasía, vijariego and muscat. Light, easy, with an oxidative edge that shows up without taking over.

11 Aug 2026La Pebrella 2023 by Celler del Roure
Arcos and Forcallà from Moixent, aged in buried clay jars. The lightest, most drinkable red I have had in ages, with 96 Parker points behind it.

4 Aug 2026Lorelay Toto 2024
Three months on skins, ungrafted pre-phylloxera vines in Güímar and 386 numbered bottles. Starting a project on the top rung of the Canary Wine pyramid.

30 Jul 2026Andreas Bender Pinot Noir 2024
Fresh raspberry and blackberry, a delicate floral lift and silk-fine tannins. Andreas Bender's Pfalz Pinot Noir, at a price that's frankly embarrassing.

26 Jul 2026DePaula 2023
A Manchuela Monastrell that comes over bright, floral and peppery. Juan Antonio Ponce's easy-drinking red, from old vines and whole-cluster fermentation.
Bodegas Ponce
26 Jul 2026Los Loros La Bota de Mateo 2024
Ungrafted Listán Blanco from the Valle de Güímar, aged in an old manzanilla cask. Top marks from Tim Atkin and an Andalusian accent you never see coming.
Juan Francisco Fariña
22 Jul 2026Étienne Calsac's Les Rocheforts
A Blanc de Blancs off pure chalk from a young Avize grower. Knife-edge acidity, a whiff of fresh-cut grass and the toast only long lees ageing gives.
Étienne Calsac
21 Jul 2026Monopole Blanco Seco Reserva 2021
Comes across all light and breezy, then laughs in your face by the second glass. A Rioja Viura aged under flor, with a splash of Manzanilla and a century of history behind it.
