And do not worry if you are unfamiliar. “You will not have to attend tasting events to enjoy the blue wine, since its taste makes it so easy to appreciate,” say the makers. The wine is produced from Spanish grape varieties and then gets its deep electric color by the addition of anthyocyacin, a natural pigment extracted from the grape peel and the bacon, a natural pigment derived from the egg plant. The builders behind the new drink are six Spaniards. Everything has to do with modernity. “Gik’s consumption is not just about drinking blue wine,” says the ad.

“Drink innovation, break the rules and create yours. Re-invent the Traditions”.

Marqués de Riscal made Rioja what it is today. Up until the 1850s the locals had made only light, young wines. Then, in 1858, Riscal introduced the ‘Bordeaux method’, barrel ageing. From that moment on, the practice became integral to Rioja. Today, Riscal Reserva is one of the most famous wines in Spain. Each grape is selected from vines that are at least 50 years old. Mature vines make the tastiest grapes. So the wine is incredibly rich and concentrated.

It’s full of summer-berry flavours and notes of liquorice and vanilla spice.

Perfect with jamón.
