WELCOME Bienvenido a Asador 44 We are extremely excited to present to you the most carefully curated and most extensive Spanish wine list put together in Wales. Having something for everyone, our list ranges from small family-owned wines entrenched in tradition, all with stories to share, through to a smattering of iconic Spanish names that we love and have enjoyed for many years. Another focus for us is to showcase and celebrate little known Spanish regions and relatively unknown native grape varietals. We passionately believe Spain really is one of the true greats of the wine world. The team are here to guide you through the list and help you discover wines that will enhance your Asador 44 experience and may even become your new favourites. Salud!
