This month ( I realise we are starting mid month, but we just recieved this wine only yesterday)  we have decided to go with a white wine , why ? – well because its so different & refreshing & hopefully by going with a white wine of the month the weather will follow!!!

This wine is called TEMP DE FLORS & its Catalan , north of Barcelona , Spain.

Its called after the annual ‘Festival Of Flowers’ in Girona & you can see why the minute you taste this summery wine. Its a very ”Pretty” wine – if you can say that- & not in a condescending way . Its refreshing, crisp & light and I would say its to most peoples taste -It is  a blend of Muscat- Xarel.lo & Gewurtztraminer so it contains that correct amount of sweetness to allow you sip away without feeling someones added a spoon of honey too.

I hope you enjoy this wine sitting in our courtyard with the sun beaming as this is the image that came to mind when we tasted first… come on sunshine its time : )))
