Bodegas Xalo
Alicante
If you like bucks fizz or aqua de Valencia (bucks fizz with orange liqueur), you can buy sweet oranges from Jalon in the car park opposite Bodegas Xalo for as little as €2 per carrier bag full. These will go perfectly with your cava from the bodega.
You can taste wines straight from the barrel before deciding which ones to buy. There is a good choice of reds, whites and rosas as well as cava and vermouth. The bodega has several delicious award-winning wines at bargain prices. You can pay as little as €1 a litre upwards for their wines.
This is superb wine country with award-winning reds, whites and rosés as well as cava and the local mistela, a sweet wine made from the Muscatel grape. Many have won prestigious national and international awards.
Particular favourites are the Bahia de Denia white, Vall de Xalo red, Vall de Xalo muscatel and Vall de Xalo Brut Nature cava. You can also buy olive oil, honey and raisins produced in Jalon.
You can also enjoy the regional Mistela wine, which is a sweet wine best served chilled.
You can also buy locally-produced olive oil at the wine shop.
