The wine
Blanc Pescador is a lightly sparkling white from Perelada, one of Empordà's most established wineries, made from a blend of Macabeo, Xarel·lo and Parellada. It's been a fixture in Spain since the 1960s, and its gentle fizz comes purely from a natural second fermentation over about two weeks rather than any added carbonation — a traditional, low-intervention approach. It's built a big, loyal following at 4.3/5 from 59 reviews, with several regulars saying they discovered it on holiday in Spain and were delighted to find it tastes just as good once shipped home.
What does this wine taste like?
Pale straw yellow with greenish hues and a bright appearance, the nose is aromatic with soft, vigorous fruit character. On the palate, it's light and pleasant, with a delicate natural sparkle that gives a gentle tingle on the tongue rather than a forceful fizz — reviewers describe crisp green apple notes with hints of apricot.

Food pairing
Its light, refreshing style makes it a versatile match for snacks and appetisers, starters, salads, and both fish and seafood, where its gentle sparkle and freshness cut through without overwhelming. One reviewer specifically pairs it with a summer salad of fresh tomatoes and prawns — a good illustration of the light, warm-weather food it's built for.
