R Blanco Seco 2016 German Riesling 
There is an understandable tendency in Spain to regard any wine above 2 euro as an unnecessary luxury. That's unfortunate because for not much more they could savour a wine that is one of the greatest bargains I have ever tasted. If I was retailing this in Australia it would be $20+ whereas it's on the retail shelves in Aldi, Spain at the equivalent of $5.20. This is a dazzling dry white with crisp acidity, lean citrus floral fruit and an intense minerality. Impossible to recommend highly enough.
