White wine from Nadia Bernard – False Bay, South Africa

Winemaker Nadia Barnard is one of many women showing they are a force to be reckoned with in South Africa’s winemaking industry.

After spending five years as an assistant winemaker at Waterkloof Wines since its inception, Nadia graduated as a winemaker in 2013.

She aspired to become a winemaker since high school; she studied a Bachelor of Science degree in Agriculture specializing in Viticulture and Oenology from the University of Stellenbosch to pursue her dream.

After university, Nadia gained extensive experience as a burgeoning winemaker through an internship at Vergelegen Estate and a stint at Flagstone Winery. She continued to hone her winemaking skills internationally, working in South Australia, New Zealand, and France.

Nadia attributes her high-quality wine to “meticulous care and guidance” in her biodynamic farming procedure, which utilizes natural winemaking.

False Bay 'Windswept' Sauvignon Blanc

Sauvignon blanc from Coastal Region, South Africa

Palate: A restrained sauvignon blanc. The palate has lots of minerality and citrus with light herbal notes. The finish is ripe with crisp green apple and a gentle touch of honey. A fabulous seaside sauvignon blanc.

Rosé from Eva de Benito – Viña Real, Spain

Eva de Benito is the winemaker of Viña Real winery. Since childhood, she has been related to the world of wine, and she graduated as a winemaker from the University of La Rioja and agronomist from the Public University of Navarra.

Eva arrived at Viña Real in 2003, a year before the inauguration of the winery.

Currently, Eva is responsible for the production, ageing and bottling of all the Viña Real range.

Viña Real Rosé

Viura, tempranillo, garnacha from Rioja, Spain

Nose: An aromatic wine, the nose revealing floral aromas along with peach, apricot and background notes of strawberry and citrus.

Pairs with: As aperitif, or with fish, shellfish, pizza and pasta, salad

Red wine from Noelia Ortis – Emiliana Vineyards, Chile

Noe is part of the inner workings of Emiliana. In her role as winemaker for Signos de Origen, Coyam, and Gê, she’s been put in the spotlight. A natural traveler, today she divides her time and passion between the Fundo Los Robles, where her family is, and traveling around the world working harvests and studying winemaking.

Noe graduated from the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia with a degree in Viticulture and Winemaking.

Noelia has worked at Miguel Torres and Marqués de Griñón wineries in Spain, and Oyster Bay in New Zealand, among others. She has attended wine fairs in Bordeaux, Montpellier, and Milan, arriving in Chile in 2009 during the vintage time. After being enchanted by Chilean wine, she decided to study for a master’s degree in Enology and Viticulture at the University of Chile.

Emiliana Coyam

Syrah, carmenere, cabernet sauvignon from Colchagua Valley, Chile

Nose: Complex on the nose, with black fruits like plums and blackberries, fresh Mediterranean herbs such as rosemary and lavender, spices, notes of mocha, and graphite.

Palate: Offers a silky texture on the palate, a medium volume, and elegant tannins. It's a long and fruity wine.

Pairs with: Red or white meat, spicy, Indian food, Mexican food, vegetarian dishes

Red wine from Maria Elena & Marta Casas – Parés Baltà, Spain

Maria graduated as a chemical engineer at the Chemical Institute of Sarrià (University of Barcelona) and worked as a consultant for some years. It was during that time that Joan, now her husband, introduced her to the magical world of wine. It was love at first sight that brought about a change in Maria’s professional career and led her to start studying enology.

Marta was born in Vilanova i la Geltrú in the rainy month of December. She spent her childhood with her grandparents and great-grandmother, who had a small vineyard. She never tired of cycling around it. The family also had a small cellar in the basement of their house with a press, some 800-liter barrels, and two cement tanks – which quickly became the perfect place to play.

Maria and Marta married brothers who were the third generation of a winemaking family. They were working in what would be their first harvest, when both decided to study oenology at the University of Tarragona, and later joined the Parés Baltà team as the lead winemakers. Their primary challenge since then has been to combine tradition with innovation.

Parés Baltà Mas Elena

Cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, merlot from Catalunya, Spain

Nose: A pleasant explosion of fruit on the nose, well balanced with soft notes of barrel ageing. Licorice and spice undertones enhance its complexity and attractiveness.

Palate: The entry on the palate is elegant and fresh, fleshy and structured with a long aftertaste. In retronasal, notes of red fruit are perceived very well integrated with the toasted wood.

Pairs with: As aperitif, or with pasta, poultry, beef, veal, cold meats, cured cheeses, stewed meats

Welcome to our menu celebrating wine destinations. Iceland isn't known for producing wine, but we love to drink it. Happily for us, many of our network destinations are close to wineries. Try delicious wines from destinations we fly to, such as Frankfurt, Paris, Milan, and Alicante.

,

Frankfurt stands apart from other German cities. Often referred to as ‘Mainhattan’, it's a high-powered finance and business hub, home to headquarters of the European Central Bank and one of the world's largest stock exchanges.

There are many layers to the city. The Alstadt (Old town) has quaint medieval buildings, taverns, plentiful museums, and lively nightlife due to the city's large student population.

But let's not forget about the wine. Close to Frankfurt are some of Germany’s best wine regions. It takes 1½ hours to drive to Mosel Valley.

Dr. Loosen Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett

Riesling from Mosel Valley

Nose: Aromas of red apple and pear mixed with honeysuckle, hints of orange blossom, and faint notes of stony minerals.

Palate: Fruity red apple, lime and honeysuckle flavors that have a light tang to them – with orange zest and flinty mineral characters on the back half. Crisp dry finish with a long and refreshing aftertaste.

Pairs with: As aperitif, or with Asian food, spicy food

,

There's no city in the world like Paris, known for the highest standards of sophistication and culture. It's renowned for cozy coffeehouses, extravagant avenues, and art in abundance.

The most challenging part about visiting Paris is deciding where to start your journey: with the gorgeous view from the Eiffel Tower, the stained glass of Notre Dame cathedral, seeing the Mona Lisa, or simply cruising along the Seine River?

In the unlikely event you grow tired of Paris, remember that France is the home of the world's most famous wine country. Some of the globe's most prestigious wine regions are close to Paris. You can reach Éperney, the capital of Champagne, in just an hour by train. Bourgogne and Alsace take two hours. Our wine journey heads north of Paris. In just over an hour you reach Loire Valley, where the wine growers have mastered the cultivation of sauvignon blanc.

,

Domaine La Moriniere Sauvignon Blanc

Sauvignon blanc from Loire Valley

Nose: Vibrant nose of lemon and tropical fruits.

Palate: Clean, fresh and mineral on the palate with hints of grapefruit and blackcurrant, with a long, crisp finish.

Pairs with: Salmon, tuna, shellfish, vegetarian dishes

,

Milan is one of those cities that has it all: renowned fashion, architecture, art, and delicious food. Visit Santa Maria delle Grazie to gaze in wonder at one of Da Vinci’s most famous paintings, The Last Supper.

Some of Italy’s best wine regions are close to Milan: Chianti in Tuscany, Emilia-Romagna, and Veneto are all within driving distance. Piedmont, one of Italy’s most prestigious wine regions, is only about 1½ hours away by car. Home to Asti, Barbaresco and Barolo wines, Piedmont is the perfect wine-lover's destination.

,

Massolino Langhe Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo from Piedmont

Nose: Delicate and pleasant, predominantly raspberry and violet. It becomes very refined and elegant with age.

Palate: An elegant and complete wine with a charming appeal. The tannic grip of the wine does not disappoint, both in presence and fineness, while still delivering freshness and crunchiness of the raspberry. Balanced, intense and persistent.

Pairs with: Pasta, grilled meat, cheeses

,

Alicante, located on the Costa Blanca, is one of the most important tourist destinations on the southeast Spanish coast. Part of the appeal of this beautiful harbor city are the many golf courses, along with the tranquil waters of the Mediterranean Sea.

Alicante has long been a favorite summer destination for Icelanders, but many haven't realized that some of Spain's best wineries are close to the city.

The quest for great wines has led us to one of those regions, Yecla. Here, the speciality is fantastic wines made mainly from the monastrell, bobal and syrah grape varieties.

,

Barahonda Organic Monastrell – Syrah

Monastrell, syrah from Yecla

Nose: Pleasant sensation of mature fruit with the scent of light oak. Long texture, intense and balanced with full-bodied and complex finishing bouquet.

Palate: Velvety and seductive, the wine has good intensity with clean fruit and an acidity that gives it freshness balanced by well-integrated sweet oak on the finish.

Pairs with: Meat, game, tapas, spicy food
