The Club of Wine Enthusiasts of Valencia Discuss Our Wines

As has been their custom since 1988, a group of friends, wine lovers, meet every Tuesday to taste wines. This group has evolved from what was principally a gastronomic institution into what is now the Club Enófilos of Valencia. Last Tuesday, on the 28th of October, this group met to taste three of our wines: Vallblanca, Aculius and Cup, which were presented by Ramon Roig.

Ramon called me to tell me that the tasting was a success, while I was cooking dinner, and that Marques de Caceres, of Bodegas Marques de Cáceres wanted to congratulate me over the phone. But as I was unaware that the president of the Club Enófilos was with Marques de Caceres, I thought it was a joke, and told him to leave me alone as it was late. When they called me back, Marques de Caceres himself was on the phone conveying the same message that the tasting was a success and that in general, they very much enjoyed the wines for their quality and their sleek and innovative presentation. And that although we were a young winery, we are producing wines of high quality, and when they returned from their trip to South America, they would like to visit our cellar. I thanked him for his comments and for having the graciousness to call me by phone.

The results of the tasting are summarized as follows:

“Cup” - the majority agreed that the wine is dark red in color, with clean and bright appearance. On the nose, the wine shows intense aromas of spicy red fruit, with a pleasant flavor. Full bodied, fruity, well balanced and a good personality. Overall, a very balanced wine.

“Aculius” - the wine came off with a brilliant and clean appearance, with a dark red color. Intense aromas of forest fruits, vanilla and licorice, with a nice round mouthfeel. This is a full-bodied, balanced and elegant wine, with a long lingering finish.

“Vallblanca 2007” everyone agreed that the wine is clean and bright, with a yellow straw color. In the nose, the wine shows a fruity and white floral aroma, such as pineapple.  On the palate, the wine showed good fruit and a very pleasant taste, with a medium long finish. Very balanced.

From here, I want to thank En Club de Enófiles for choosing our wines for the tasting, and its chairman for having the consideration to call me on the phone to share the results.

Un Saludo,
