Chronicle from my last visit to Cortijo de los Aguilares in Ronda (Málaga). In this andalusian winery Bibi García crafts wines that perfectly reflect the terroir: Mediterranean, yet fresh and mountainous. And she does so with a unique personality, without bowing to fads or trends.

Chris Lynch introduces us to Arcos. En mi vida, macho.
It must be one that we don’t have in Galicia, in spite of being home to 65% of all of Spain’s varieties. Not just a wild claim, I’ll have y’all know.
Wine of the week, Chris Lynch goes to one of our favourite producers, Rafael Cambra, and opens his Casalabor, a tinto made with the local variety Arcos. An elegant wine with flavours of red fruits and herbs, that evokes warmer days by the Mediterranean.

Wine of the week is the Albahra 2023 by Envínate. It’s a wine that almost everyone seems to like. And as @Lynch3 writes, a success with a guest who describes it as a ‘hip wine’.
