Máquina & Tabla is the personal project of Oriol Illa and Susana Pastor; they produce wines from old vineyards and local varieties in Bierzo, Toro, Rueda, Gredos and Castilla y León. The wines I tasted over-deliver for the prices asked.

Bravely bottled in green glass – a rosé producer more bothered with protecting the wine in the bottle than showing off the colour. Medium orange pink. Very interesting nose – nuts and orange peel and spice and intense wild strawberries. Utterly gorgeous! So spicy – it fills the mouth and reverberates and you get tiny pink peppercorns and berries and crunch and a little bit of fudge and bite and burn. Stunning. Hazelnuts. I would just love this with a plate of jamón ibérico and warm, crusty bread and a big bowl of green nutty olive oil to dip it into. Yum. Simply yum

I was particularly taken by one of the new-wave Spanish whites by Máquina & Tabla; Hugely pungent. Despite the long time on skins not remotely aggressively astringent. Honey, spice and absolutely enough acidity. Quite full bodied and with masses of character. This is quintessential new-wave Spanish white.
