Two inviting expressions of Iberian white wine
From Tejo’s gentle fruit to Aragon’s aromatic freshness
This selection has been curated for white wine drinkers who appreciate freshness and easy enjoyment but would also like to venture beyond familiar grapes. Ai Galera’s Mistico comes from vineyards around Lezíria and Charneca in Portugal’s Tejo region, bringing Fernão Pires and Verdelho together in a ripe, gently refreshing style. Borsao’s Delincuente turns to Macabeo from Aragon, filling the glass with white peach and spring flowers before creamy texture meets lively acidity. Together, they offer an engaging introduction to two Iberian regions and three characterful grapes, with the versatility to move comfortably from a pre-dinner glass to seafood, salads or a relaxed supper.

White peach and spring flowers rise gently from the glass, followed by a textured peach character on the palate. Creaminess and fresh acidity sit in lovely balance, giving this aromatic Macabeo a lively, moreish finish.

Why we love this Iberian white wine pairing
Ai Galera and Borsao offer two engaging perspectives on fresh Iberian whites. Mistico brings the ripe fruit and gentle character of Fernão Pires and Verdelho from Tejo, while Delincuente gives Aragonese Macabeo a floral, peachy expression balanced by creaminess and bright acidity.
- Ai Galera’s Mistico draws on vineyards around Lezíria and Charneca, blending Fernão Pires and Verdelho into a fresh, gently rounded Portuguese white.
- Borsao’s Delincuente shows Macabeo’s aromatic appeal through white peach and spring flowers, with creamy texture kept lively by well-balanced acidity.
- The contrast between Mistico’s soft, ripe-fruited style and Delincuente’s floral, textured freshness makes this an enjoyable introduction to Iberian white wine.
I love how naturally these wines complement each other: Mistico is gentle, ripe and refreshing, while Delincuente brings lovely peachy aromatics, creamy texture and a bright lift of acidity.
