What's this about?

The fastest way for us to help you find the wines you'll love (and avoid the wines you won't ) is for you to spend 30 seconds to tell us about your wine tastes. We use these answers, together with your wine ratings to build a detailed profile of your personal tastes. We match your taste profile to our wines taste profile to find the wines that match. Even if it's a grape you don't know, from a place you don't know, made by a person you have never heard of. For example, if you tell us that you like Rioja, we have an Argentinean Malbec that you will adore. And a Spanish Grenache that will blow your socks off.

Thanks Noeleen!
I see you are a woman with intuition. You had got 2 bottles of Mar de Viñas, so it is time to enjoy the wine.

Very happy with this choice. It certainly lived up to its reviews. I found it sharp with a burst of citrus but not too fruity. It certainly is one of my favourite whites so far .Am glad we have another bottle.

Hello Everyone,
In Gran Vinum we are working on the new vintage.
We said goodbay to the harvest a little while ago . THose were days of hard work, But with the good companion of our friends they were a little better because apart from grape the day lead to other moments:breaks to have a glass of wine with seafood.The condition: after eating all of us went back to works but with more enthusiasm.
The musici was ther too, just to create a good ambiance,because this year un between our friends we had a musician and a singer from head to toe.He even has a videoclip made in Cuba. So, when we were feeling a little down, some music live was there to cheer us up.
Grapes, wine, seafood and music.Great team work!
Now we just jave to wait to see the results!.The climate was good for the vineyards.Right now we can only assure at this point that the musts are very aromatic.
The final result, you will find it in the glass.

I am very proud that such professionals in gastronomy enjoyed our wine.Our winey is only few metres from the seashore and we like thinking that you nearly taste the sea salt!

Enrique's Story

Wine making is something that I grew up with... I remember running through the family vines when I was young, and helping my parents during harvest. I learnt everything I know from my family – we have been in the winemaking profession for generations.

I have a very simply philosophy; make the wine you make with love, care and feelings. This is not difficult for me as I cannot imagine myself doing anything else... I was born to make wine.

It is not an easy job, and there isn't much time to relax or to take holidays, but the fact that our customers comes back year after year to buy our wines again makes it all worth it."
