Canallas Spanish White
Valencia white, silk-screened bottle, poured cold and fast.
The story behind Canallas
Canallas comes out of Font de la Figuera, a village in the D.O.P. Valencia inside the Terres dels Alforins, where the vineyards sit at 650 meters. Antonio Arráez founded the bodega in 1950; the third generation runs it now, with Toni Arráez as director and winemaker.
The white is a 50/50 blend of Merseguera and Moscatel. Merseguera carries the structure and fresh acidity, Moscatel brings the loud Mediterranean aromatics. Fresh vinification, no barrel, so the fruit stays native and the color stays pale yellow with green edges. The silk-screened bottles wear street murals by illustrator Paco Tuercas. That is the whole pitch: unpretentious, easy-drinking, cold.

Which Canallas is right for you?
Nothing here needs a decision. Canallas Blanco runs $11.99 for the 750mL, the same as the Rose, and the Monastrell Tempranillo red is $14.99. That is value-tier Spanish wine priced like it, not like a marketing exercise. Buy Canallas online and we pull it from the Commack shelf, or stop in at 1171 Jericho Turnpike and carry it out yourself. We have sold Spanish whites for three decades and this one earns its slot on price and on the fact that it tastes like the coast it came from.
Chilled hard, it handles olives, shrimp and rice without arguing with any of them.
Bottle-fermented Macabeo at a value price, cold enough to open before dinner.
Everyday red at $14.99, no ceremony required, good with grilled anything.
