Focused on organics and ancient varieties, Pepe Raventós’ wines are detailed, mineral, floral, fresh, and incredibly moreish. Their 2023 Xarel·lo, raised in concrete and stainless steel, shows notes of fennel, bay leaves, florals and citrus with a precise, dry finish. Can Sumoi is so mooi! ‘Super elegant’, says Jancis Robinson.

Lagar de Cervera, from the famed Rias Baixas appellation, brings the ocean to your doorstep (and your glass). Their 2022 Pazo de Seoane cuvée is a classic Rosal blend of half Albariño and other local white varieties. White flowers, grapefruit and white peach burst out of the glass with a breezy, saline finish. Their varietal 2023 Albariño is a step up. Bright and lively, almost more salty than fruity, it has impressive depth and a sophisticated, steely finish.

Finally, from the man who makes some of the best reds in Spain, comes a modern, elegant white blend of Viura, Malvasía and Palomino Fino, Artuke’s 2022 Trascuevas. It perfectly marries fullness with freshness and makes you think of a white Burgundy. Expect intensity, minerality, brilliant freshness and a long, subtle finish.

These wines are perfect for lazy lunches, summer dinners, or as a refresher after a long day. And with most under R350, give them a try – you won’t regret it.
