Spain, Poured — A BQS Long Lunch
Join us at Bar Que Sera for a vibrant Spanish wine lunch — full of flavour, flair and a touch of fun.
Hosted by Duane, the afternoon brings together a thoughtfully curated lineup of Spanish wines, matched to one of Mitch’s signature menus — this time with a distinctly Spanish twist.
We’ll start bright and briny with coastal whites, roll into rounded Garnacha Blanca, then move through the juicy charm of Rioja before finishing deeper, darker and more powerful with Grenache-led wines from Montsant and beyond. Spain doesn’t really do boring.
The lineup:
2024 Astobiza Txakoli (Basque Country) – fresh, zippy and saline, all citrus and green apple
2023 Marco Abella Garnatxa Blanc (Priorat) – textural and aromatic, with soft stone fruit and warmth2024 Ijalba Rioja – vibrant and fruit-forward, with red berries and gentle spice
2022 Villota Rioja – more structured and savoury, with depth and refinement2022 Clos Mogador ‘Com Tu’ Montsant – generous and expressive, dark fruit with a mineral edge
2023 Bernabeleva ‘Navaherreros’ Garnacha (Organic) – lifted and elegant, with wild herbs and fine tannins1988 Toro Albala Pedro Ximénez – rich, luscious and complex, with dried fruits, toffee and incredible length
In the kitchen, Chef Mitch builds a four-course menu designed to complement each wine, creating a lunch that moves with contrast, energy and plenty of personality.
Great wine, great food, and great company. And who knows, we may even convince JP to treat us to a little tango.
