Simple: Good wine is always a classy gift for any birthday, anniversary, wedding … So why not plan for a celebration of this type in the warm weather? Pay attention, because today we propose five white wines which are ideal for gifts. Do not miss them!

As previouly mentioned, the choice of wine as a gift is almost always guaranteed success, given that it is perfectly suited to almost all occasions, in addition to the vast range of prices available, which allows us to adjust our budget completely.

The only “difficult” part of the process is to give a wine that suits the tastes of the recipient. And this is where white wine becomes a close friend.

Giving a white wine is definitely the safest option, since its freshness and lightness make it a favourite of those who might not regularly drink wine wine too. Moreover, the same freshness of white wine makes it the perfect gift during these warmer months.

If you are thinking of giving a white wine note these recommendations. A choice of five very special wines that will delight your recipients:

Pazo de Señorans Selección de Añada. It is possible that Rias Baixas, a cradle of Albariño, is one of the most valued and respected areas in Spain. And this Pazo de Señorans is undoubtedly one of its greatest exponents. A limited production wine, very elegant, very special.

Nelín. The Priorat, land of some of the best red wines in Spain, also gives us some white gems such as this. Nelin 2012,  from the Clos Mogador winery, is a spectacular blend of Garnacha Blanca, Viognier and other varieties. A very complex and deep wine, mineral and.

Viña Tondonia Reserva Blanco. Possibly the best white reserva wine from Rioja, Tondonia 2001 is an excellent white wine produced using the traditional method of López de Heredia wineries. A different, nuanced, compelling and very personal wine.

Belondrade & Lurtón. Since its founding in 2000, Bodegas Belondrade & Lurton have been honoured to have led the Rueda a step further in terms of quality and modernity. We are facing a varietal Verdejo, very fresh and juicy and that appeals to everyone. If you have doubts about the tastes of the recipient of your gift, this may be your best option.

Nun Vinya dels Taus. And finally we travel to the Penedes to recommend this powerful variety: The Xarel·lo. Nun Vinya dels Taus gives us a true reflection of the terroir. A fine and balanced wine. A joy.

What do you think of these proposals? We’d love to know what your ideal white wine is to give as a gift!
