The Summer Selection Wine Box
Our director of wine, Ian Brosnan, has selected three wines that we are enjoying here at ELY as we move into warmer and longer evenings!
Wines Included:
Geil Pinot Noir, Rheinhessen, Germany 2020
100% Pinot Noir
Think a well balanced pinot noir that will go down very smoothly. Bursting with forest fruit aromas but balanced with subtle spice this is the epitome of a wine for Spring!
Pairs well with grilled fish and other light dishes
"Delicious light, fresh red fruits; perfect summer drinking."
-John Wilson, The Irish Times
Bodega Maranones, 30,000 Maravedies, Garnacha, Vinos de Madrid, Spain, 2017
90% Garnacha 10% local varieties
Light in colour and delicately perfumed, with red berry and sweet cherry fruit. The palate has fine dusty tannins, sweet red fruit and a wonderfully juicy acidity. Have it lightly chilled for a wonderfully easy-drinking summertime red.
Pairs well with grilled lamb, roast vegetables, roast pork, dark chocolate.
Adega Algueira 'Brandan', Godello, Ribeira Sacra, Spain, 2020
100% Godello -Try it if you like Albarino, Sauvignon Blanc or any crisp yet fruity white.
An excellent example of un-oaked Godello, this is fresh, crisp and zesty, with lemon and grapefruit on the nose, a touch of tropical fruit on the palate and a long, clean finish. A perfect aperitif wine, it can be enjoyed as an excellent pairing for shellfish, seafood or white meat dishes.
Pairs well particularly well with grilled fish, roast lamb, pork, cheese
“Godello, the other classic white grape of Galicia - creamy lemon and lemon pie aromas, weighty and textured with crisp lime, grapefruit and stoney citrus flavours and bitter lemon kick on the finish.”
Leslie Williams - Irish Examiner
