Description Gold-winning Perla del Mar comes from a special coastal vineyard called La Marina, 35 miles from Alicante, in Valencia. The wine’s delightfully fresh and fruity style is thanks to the grape selection (mainly the fragrant and ‘grapey’ Moscatel), the fact that the vineyards are surrounded by sea to the north, south and east, and, finally, to the modern methods of talented winemaker Raúl López. Having worked with our Scottish-born pal, Pamela Geddes, for over a year, he is now taking over as head winemaker at the cellar. Perla del Mar is an elegant, refreshing wine with a vibrant, lime-zest core and hints of lychee and other tropical fruits. It’s the archetypal summer apéritif – all year round!
