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.
In the kitchen, Chef Mitch has built a four-course menu designed to complement each wine, creating a lunch that moves with contrast, energy and plenty of personality.
The menu:
Escabeche of Yamba prawn, pork jowl, tomato and beef fat ketchup
2024 Astobiza Txakoli (Basque Country) – fresh, zippy and saline, all citrus and green apple
2023 Marco Abella Garnatxa Blanc (Priorat) – textural with soft stone fruit and warmth
Morcilla stuffed chicken, smoked grape & sherry jus
2024 Ijalba Rioja – vibrant and fruit-forward, with red berries and gentle spice
2022 Villota Rioja – more structured and savoury, with depth and refinement
Wagyu rump cap, fermented peppers, anchovy butter & horseradish
2022 Clos Mogador ‘Com Tu’ Montsant – generous and expressive, dark fruit with a mineral edge
2023 Bernabeleva ‘Navaherreros’ Garnacha – lifted and elegant, with wild herbs and fine tannins
Dark chocolate mousse, horchata and Jerusalem artichoke
1988 Toro Albala Pedro Ximénez – rich and complex; dried fruits, toffee and incredible length
Great wine, great food, and great company. And who knows, we may even convince JP to treat us to a little tango.
