Our wine expert reveals the best Spanish whites, from £9.99
Hailing from coastal towns and inland hills, Spanish whites rely on a range of native varieties so there's something to suit every occasion, mood and fussy dinner guest! For fresh, zingy styles, Albariño is the go-to. After a little more texture? There's oaked white Rioja and Godello (Spain 's answer to Chardonnay). Got a little more to spend? I love premium barrel-aged white Riojas: rich, complex and perfect for Burgundy lovers. How good to see Aldi stocking this fab Spanish gem. It's pure, textured and layered, with peachy citrus appeal – a steal guaranteed to impress even your fanciest friend. This was my first taste of the rare Albilla grape, here grown inland at altitude. It has a floral bouquet, red apple and lemon. Try with herby salads. Viña Pomal Barrel Fermented Rioja blanco 2023 (13%) £10.50 Shop Here's one for red wine drinkers who 'don't do white': unctuous stone fruit, sweet spice from oak and a mouth-filling creamy texture. This textbook Albariño ticks all the boxes – it's zesty, vibrant, refreshing and so moreish; a sea-like charmer to pair with salty snacks and/ or seafood, simply cooked.
