Wine of the Month; September 2026

Christophe Chapillon, “Vispius Blanco”, 2025, Estrada Palacio, Macabeo, Aragon

“Mr Whirly” says;

” I love Macabeo as a grape. It always  add’s a little extra in the glass in terms of textures, minerals and flavours. This wine is for old vines, over 80 years, in the high hills of Somontano in the. north of Aragon near the mountains. Beautifully made and with a delicious mouthfeel, I urge you to try it. Very limited stock due to small quantities made.”

Wine makers tasting notes:

Vispius White is a wine with a series of self extraordinary qualities and characteristics which give it taste and fragrances of its own, different from other white wines. Colour: yellow with golden tints. Nose: Aroma’s of intense exotic and tropical fruit with subtle perfumes of pear and apple. The feel on the mouth is very fresh and fruity with a body and an acidity that gives the wine the spine necessary to maintain its character.
