Add to cart$25.00in any six
$28.00 per single bottle
Terrific wine. Very vivid colour, a bit darker than the 2016. Crunchy palate of blueberry, cherry, plum, cinnamon and nutmeg. Just the perfect marriage of ripe succulent fruit, drying powdery tannins and vibrant acidity. Bargain. WWC, January 2019. This is an aromatic, vital, young Rioja bursting at the seams with aromas and flavours of red […]

It’s business as usual for Gregory Perez’s entry-level Mencía, which again offers crazy value. Juicy and tangy, this is just a glass of deliciousness with loads of racy, cherry, peppery fruits. Think of quality Beaujolais villages but with more interest, and you’ll be coming close. This comes from multiple parcels of 30-60-year-old vines dotted around […]

This is the third vintage of this wine that I have had the pleasure to taste and drink. The 2016 and 2017 releases are awesome and entirely different from each other. It’s great to see real vintage variation in an ‘entry’ level wine. For what it’s worth, I tend to prefer the cooler vintages. The […]

$41.00 per single bottle
The tiny village of Ábalos lies just a kilometre or so from the Rioja Alta’s border with Rioja Alavasa. Forming a small pocket between the River Ebro and the Basque mountains to the north, the rocky terroir of this area has more in common with nearby Alavesa – the soils are rich in limestone, the […]

This is a wonderful introduction to Rioja. The 2014 Laderas de Cabama is bursting with silky red cherry, liquorice and chocolate and a touch of fine tannin on the finish. A fine, sexy Rioja and great value. “Powerful and concentrated, this has a great tannin structure that makes it seem rather young for its age. […]

With a different soil type and higher elevation than its sister property in Pesquera de Duero, Condado de Haza is located in the province of Burgos, which is known for its rocky soils and cooler climate.

The floral and cherry aromas leap out of the glass and have an HD precision that you don’t normally find in entry-level wines. You can say the same thing about the full, moderately dry tannins on palate. A refreshing hint of bitterness on the intense, mineral finish. Drink or hold. 93 points, JamesSuckling.com Negre is […]

$62.00 per single bottle
The dark-straw color with orange reflexes and the bold tannins on the palate mean that this is, in some sense, an orange wine. Lots of nuts and dried herbs, but also some dried apricot on the nose. Quite long. Mostly grenache blanc plus some macabeu. Drink or hold. 92 points, JamesSuckling.com Brisat is made from […]

Valenciso Reserva Rioja 2012

2012 was a warm and dry year, when some vines were blocked and stopped ripening the grapes. Surprisingly enough, many wines have retained more freshness than what the natural conditions of the year anticipated. Valenciso’s 2012 Reserva has more stuffing and power than the 2011 and comes from a year that was saved by some […]

A hint of funk from reduction, but it blows off fast to reveal complex and delicate floral and spicy aromas that weave a compelling picture, unlike any other garnacha I know. Astonishingly filigree on the palate with a very long finish, perfectly supported by the refined tannins. Drink or hold. 95 points, JamesSuckling.com The ‘spine […]

$107.00 per single bottle
The 2008 is just the third release of this leftfield Rioja and arguably the finest to date. Bottled in 2018, hence the name ’10 Years After’, the extended ageing in concrete results in no loss of colour and only seems to intensify the wine’s fruit purity and aromatic expression. Meanwhile the striking palate is both […]

Macan is Bodegas Benjamin de Rothschild & Vega Sicilia’s flagship. It is elegance and depth. Its freshness and fruitiness is the result of a meticulous grape selection from the best “pagos” (vineyards) in San Vicente de la Sonsierra. Its silky tannin is a genuine result of very old vines, variety Tempranillo, along with cautious ageing […]
