Cuatro españoles entre los mejores vinos de Tesco, según Decanter

Dos albariños, un rioja y un pedro ximénez figuran entre los 41 mejores vinos de Tesco, una enorme cadena de supermercados del Reino Unido, que ha confeccionado la revista Decanter. El más destacado de todos ellos, con 93 puntos, Paco & Lola 2019. La publicación recuerda que este blanco obtuvo una de las 178 medallas de platino en los Decanter World Wine Awards 2020, concurso en el que se cataron más de 16.000 vinos.

Algunas de las marcas elegidas están embotelladas para Tesco y elaboradas en colaboración con “respetables productores y cooperativas». El pedro ximénez lleva la firma de González Byass, el otro albariño la de Pagos del Rey y el rioja la de Barón de Ley.

Tesco Finest Viñas Del Rey Albariño Rías Baixas 2018
Look no further if you want the perfect wine to serve with seafood. Talk about a sense of place – you can almost taste the salty tang from the Galician coast in Spain’s northern Rías Baíxas region, where this is produced. The grapes are largely grown in the traditional ‘emparrado’…

Tesco Finest Viña del Cura Gran Reserva Rioja 2012
Made by Baron de Ley, this gran reserva spent 24 months in oak followed by 36 months in bottle. It has a lovely fruitcake character, with spicy cedar and ripe black fruits which makes it a perfect winter warmer. It may seem sticky-sweet in the mouth thanks to all that…
