The Vino Ibérico Explorer Case

The Vino Ibérico Explorer Case

Discover a different side of Spain and Portugal with The Vino Ibérico Explorer Case: a six-bottle mixed wine case created for curious drinkers who want to explore beyond the most familiar names, regions and styles.

This carefully selected case brings together three Spanish wines and three Portuguese wines, with a particular focus on distinctive regional character, indigenous grape varieties and producers working in some of the Iberian Peninsula’s most exciting wine areas.

From traditional-method sparkling wine and Atlantic whites to lighter, fresher reds and more structured, serious styles, this is a mixed case designed to show just how varied modern Iberian wine can be.

What’s included in The Vino Ibérico Explorer Case?

Arrels Montau de Sadurní Brut Nature Reserva NV

Penedès, Spain

A dry, traditional-method sparkling wine made from the classic local varieties Xarel·lo, Macabeo and Parellada. Extended ageing on the lees gives the wine extra depth and texture, while the Brut Nature style keeps it crisp, focused and refreshing.

This is a characterful introduction to the traditional grapes of Catalonia and a fine example of how serious and food-friendly Spanish sparkling wine can be.

Almanua Vinho Verde Terroir Marítimo Vine Vinu

Vinho Verde, Portugal

A more serious and expressive take on Vinho Verde, shaped by the cooling influence of the Atlantic Ocean. Fresh, bright and mineral, it offers citrus fruit, subtle texture and a clean, saline finish.

This is a wine that moves well beyond the simple, lightly spritzy image sometimes associated with Vinho Verde, showing instead the precision and regional identity that the area can deliver.

Bouza do Rei Albariño

Rías Baixas, Spain

Produced from Albariño grown in the Atlantic-influenced vineyards of Rías Baixas, this white wine is bright, aromatic and fresh, with citrus, stone fruit and a distinctive saline edge.

It captures the maritime character of north-western Spain and offers a completely different expression of Spanish white wine from the warmer inland regions.

Falatório Tinto Bastardo Cas’Amaro Lisboa

Lisboa, Portugal

A lighter, fresher Portuguese red made from the rare Bastardo grape, known elsewhere as Trousseau. Fragrant, juicy and softly textured, it offers bright red fruit, gentle spice and plenty of energy.

This is an easy-drinking but highly distinctive red that can also be served slightly chilled, making it a particularly versatile choice for relaxed meals, sharing plates and warmer evenings.

Quinta dos Carvalhais Touriga Nacional Dão

Dão, Portugal

A polished and structured expression of Touriga Nacional from the granite soils and elevated vineyards of the Dão. Expect dark berry fruit, floral notes, spice and refined tannins, balanced by the freshness for which the region is increasingly recognised.

It is a more elegant and composed style of Portuguese red, offering both depth and restraint.

El Tribut de Scala Dei Priorat

Priorat, Spain

A serious and structured red from the dramatic hills of Priorat, one of Spain’s most distinctive wine regions. Built around traditional Mediterranean varieties including Garnacha and Cariñena, it combines ripe dark fruit, spice, mineral depth and firm but polished tannins.

The region’s famous slate soils, known locally as llicorella, help give Priorat wines their concentration, freshness and unmistakable sense of place.
