Kiss of Wine is launching two new canned red wines made with independent producer and Valencia’s ‘winemaker of the year’ Rodolfo Valiente.
The two new wines include a ‘Picante’ Garnacha Tintorera and a ‘Punchy’ Tempranillo. The tasting will be hosted by Kiss of Wine’s new COO and Master of Wine in training, Guy Palmer Brown and winemaker, Rodolfo.
Presented in eco-friendly, single serve cans, ‘Punchy’ Tempranillo (RRP £5.95) and ‘Picante’ Garnacha Tintorera (RRP £5.95) are perfect for those evenings when you want to enjoy a great wine with dinner, but don’t want to open an entire bottle. The convenient packaging also makes them a great accompaniment to wintery walks, spring picnics and summer BBQs.
Third-generation independent winemaker Rodolfo Valiente is known for his sustainable and organic farming practices as they seek to promote biodiversity and rewild their solar-powered 60 hectare farm, which is set in the mountainous Valencian countryside. The vineyard’s altitude is said to give each wine a freshness, while Valiente’s care and attention to the health of each vine is said to show through in the vibrancy of the wines. In 2017, Rodolfo was named ‘winemaker of the year’ by The Valencian Association of Winemakers.
Since launching in 2020, the female-founded Kiss of Wine claims to be challenging people’s misconceptions around canned wine and partnering with some of Europe’s best artisan producers to create great wines. All of its wines claim to be vegan and sustainable, with cans producing 2.5 times fewer carbon emissions than the equivalent wine in bottles.
