An easy-going journey through France and Spain
From Mediterranean freshness to Spanish warmth
This gift set has been curated for someone who would enjoy exploring two very different European grapes without losing sight of easy drinking pleasure. Xavier Roger’s Coquille de Mer is a dry Vermentino grown near the Mediterranean in Languedoc-Roussillon, bringing citrus, apricot, peach and tropical fruit together with lively acidity. Delincuente Tinto turns towards Campo de Borja, where Garnacha from established vineyards gives raspberry, strawberry and dried-flower aromas alongside good structure and noticeable tannin. Together, they create an inviting journey across colour, country and style, with a natural progression from a bright pre-dinner glass to a relaxed meal.
The Wines
Coquille de Mer Vermentino
Xavier Roger, Languedoc-Roussillon, France
Tasting note
Citrus, apricot and gentle floral aromas open into ripe peach and tropical fruit on the palate. Crisp, dry and balanced by lively acidity, it brings a bright, refreshing character to the glass that is especially enjoyable on a warm day.
Pair with
Lovely as an aperitif, it would also come into its own with fish and seafood, fresh salads, white meat or a light pasta dish.
Delincuente Tinto Campo de Borja DO
Delincuente, Campo de Borja, Spain
Tasting note
Vibrant raspberry and strawberry mingle with dried-flower aromas, giving this Garnacha an expressive, fruit-led personality. Freshness lifts the palate while good structure and noticeable tannins carry it towards a balanced, gently persistent finish.
Pair with
Its berry fruit and firm structure would be very comfortable at a relaxed supper with grilled meat, roasted vegetables, tapas or a generous cheese board.
Why we love this European pairing
Xavier Roger and Delincuente make this a particularly approachable journey through contrasting European styles. Coquille de Mer captures Vermentino’s aromatic, refreshing side through Mediterranean-grown fruit and lively acidity, while the Campo de Borja Garnacha brings vibrant red berries, floral detail and enough structure to feel right at home with food.
- Xavier Roger’s Coquille de Mer fills the glass with citrus, apricot, peach and tropical fruit, its crisp acidity keeping the dry Vermentino bright and refreshing.
- Delincuente’s Garnacha comes from established Campo de Borja vineyards and undergoes a short maceration before fermentation in steel, preserving its fresh, fruit-driven character.
- The shift from aromatic French white to structured Spanish red creates an enjoyable sense of discovery and gives the selection real versatility across an evening.
I love the natural progression here: Coquille de Mer is bright, peachy and beautifully refreshing, while Delincuente brings juicy berry fruit, floral character and a little more structure for the table.
