Details
This is a textural and complex number made from the local Malvasia de Sitges grape. Notes of green Jelly Babies and candied lime dominate the nose and interlace with stone fruit, a peachy character. This is oily and textural in the mouth, with hints of dill, thyme and quince. Brilliant.

Pairing guide
We couldn’t help but be blown away by the beautiful flavours and character of this stunning Malvasia from Vins l'Apical - it’s a stunning example of what Northern Spanish wineries do best, and a real delight for any fans of this wine style. If you’re on the lookout for the perfect food pairing, you’d do worse than to match it up with a hearty dish of crab linguine or lobster with a portion of spiced butter. Pork chops with garlic and herbs, peri-peri chicken, curried vegetables and spicy tofu will also work a treat.
