Buy Spanish Wine in Miami: Inside 305 Wines' Latest Tasting

Where to Buy Spanish Wine in Miami: A Look Inside Our Latest Tasting

If you have been searching for where to buy wines in Miami and want more than the usual Rioja and Albariño, 305 Wines is the best wine shop in Miami for exploring Spain's full range. We recently ran through eighteen bottles spanning nine regions, from the coastal whites of Rías Baixas to a twenty year old sherry from Jerez. A few of these stood out enough to share.

Comando G, Rozas de Puerto Real, Sierra de Gredos

Comando G is one of the projects responsible for changing how the wine world sees Garnacha. Working with old, high altitude vineyards in the Sierra de Gredos, the team farms small parcels separately and bottles them as single vineyard wines rather than blending everything together. Rozas de Puerto Real comes from granite soils and shows what Garnacha can do when it is treated with the same care as Pinot Noir. Expect red fruit, dried herbs, and a very long finish. This is a strong pour for anyone used to bigger, oakier Spanish reds and curious what the grape looks like when yields are kept low and extraction is kept gentle.

Marqués de Griñón, Summa Varietalis, Dominio de Valdepusa

Dominio de Valdepusa is a Vino de Pago, Spain's highest classification for a single estate, and it exists because Carlos Falcó fought to have international grape varieties recognized on their own terms in Castilla-La Mancha back in the 1970s. Summa Varietalis blends Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot from that estate. It is a useful bottle for a customer who wants to understand how Bordeaux varieties perform in a warmer Spanish climate, with riper fruit and a structure built for the table rather than the cellar.

Bodega Numanthia, Toro

Toro sits east of Ribera del Duero along the Duero river and grows some of the oldest ungrafted Tinta de Toro vines in Spain, many over a century old. Numanthia comes from these vineyards and delivers real concentration without losing freshness, a balance that only comes from vines with deep, established roots. It is a wine that rewards a good steak or the kind of slow grilled short rib that Miami backyards do well.

Getariako Txakolina, K55

Txakoli rarely gets much shelf space outside of Basque restaurants, but it belongs in any serious conversation about Spanish white wine. K55 is made from Hondarrabi Zuri and aged on its lees, which gives it more texture than the simple, spritzy versions most people have tried. It is low in alcohol, high in elevated acidity, and built for shellfish. With stone crab season approaching, this is exactly the bottle to have on hand.

Valdespino, Viejo C.P. Palo Cortado VOS

Palo Cortado is the rarest style in Jerez, a sherry that starts out aging under flor like a Fino and then shifts character, finishing oxidatively like an Oloroso. Valdespino's Viejo C.P. carries a VOS designation, meaning it has spent a minimum of twenty years in the solera system at their Macharnudo Alto vineyard. Few wine shops in Miami carry sherry at this level of age and rarity. It is a wine for someone who already knows what they like and wants something they cannot find anywhere else.
