• Proef: Gastronomische blend van Macabeo en Garnacha Blanca. Zeer expressief karakter, typische droge lichtoxydatieve toets (nootachtig). Enorm veel potentieel, structuur. Lichtgroengele reflectie in het glas. Afwisselend peer en citrus. In de mond fris, zuiver en goed in evenwicht.

• Proef: Dido "La Solució Rosa" is een uitzonderlijke rosé wijn van D.O Montsant. Hoewel deze wijn geclassificeerd is als een rosé wijn, bezit hij niet de typische rosé-kenmerken. Zeg niet zomaar een rosé tegen deze rosé, dit is een top gastronomische wijn! Complexe smaak, brede structuur, oneindig lange afdronk.

• Proef: Nog een topper uit rising star Montsant: robijnrood, met sensueel boeket vol rijp fruit (van de Garnacha en de Merlot), iets kruidigs ook (Cabernet Sauvignon). Aroma's van rood en zwart fruit, lichte eiktoets en wat cederhoutimpressies. Een bijzonder lange finale rondt het proefgenot gepast af.
