A dozen Spanish wines open at any one time, and it moves as bottles come and go — worth a second look each visit. If you want the whole cellar rather than tonight’s handful, the full wine list runs to sixty-nine bottles, each one written up: how it tastes, where it comes from, what to eat with it and how to say it.
Espumoso
2022 Lacrima Baccus Brut Nature Cava$20
Penedès
Zero sugar, zero apology. Bone dry bubbles.
Blanco
2024 Ángel Rodríguez ‘Martínsancho’ Verdejo$17
Rueda
The bottle that kept old vine Verdejo alive in Rueda. Still the reference.
2024 Gorrondona Txakoli$19
Bizkaiko Txakolina
The Basque coast in a glass.
2023 Manuel Quintano Blanco Viura$20
Rioja
White Rioja with the oak left out. Viura straight up: apple, fennel, chalk.
2024 ‘Tempos Vivendi’ Albariño$22
Rías Baixas
Albariño for people who think they know Albariño.
Rosado
2022 Manuel Quintano ‘Labastida’ Rosado, Garnacha$18
Rioja
Garnacha picked for freshness, not colour. Drink it young.
Natural
2022 Oníric ‘Sotaterra’ Skin Contact Macabeo$21
Penedès
A white grape made like a red. Amber, grippy, and jamón's best friend.

Utiel-Requena
Bobal. Everywhere in Spain, invisible here.
2022 Ponce ‘La Casilla’, Bobal$17

Rioja
Rioja bottled young and purple, before anyone mentions barrels.

Bierzo
Mencía is Spain's Cabernet Franc. Start here.
2021 Manuel Quintano ‘Labastida Crianza’, Tempranillo$20
Rioja
A proper Rioja Crianza, from the village where the barrel first arrived.
Anada is a sherry bar as much as a wine bar. All of these are poured by the glass, and the staff will steer you if it is unfamiliar territory.
Sherry Jerez
Bone dry, salted almond, cut with sea air. Chill it hard and treat it like white wine.

Sánchez Romate ‘Perdido’ Fino$18
Albero 22 Manzanilla en Rama$22
