Gonzalo Grijalba, Gran Cerdo Blanco 2023/24

Get to know: Gonzalo Grijalba Gran Cerdo Blanco

A lively natural Spanish white wine from the renowned Rioja region.

Tasting Note

Gran Cerdo Blanco is a light-bodied, dry white with a pale straw colour and aromas of green apple, pear, peach, and lemon zest, complemented by subtle floral notes. On the palate, it’s crisp and zesty, with a clean, mineral snap that keeps the wine lively and refreshing. Silky texture and bright acidity give it a balanced, moreish finish. Made from Viura and other white varieties, this natural white is both fun and easy, a perfect example of organic winemaking at its most accessible.

Top food pairings:

  • Grilled prawns or garlicky calamari
  • Goat’s cheese salad or green olives
  • Light tapas, veggie paella, or fish tacos
Kate Says

"This is a great gateway into the kind of natural wine we love. Fresh, clean, and beautifully made – ideal with crispy fried whitebait or just to enjoy on a sunny afternoon."
