Neither gives much away on the label other than the name of the wine, which translates as \u201cmuch more\u201d, and the name of the producer. F\u00e9lix Solis is one of the largest family-owned wine producers in the world, with six wineries in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/tags\/spain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/tags\/spain\/\">Spain<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">These two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/tags\/wine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/tags\/wine\/\">wines<\/a> are made from a blend of different grape varieties, some local, others international.
