$30.00 per single bottle
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 […]

$30.00 per single bottle
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 […]

At 895 metres altitude you can almost touch the stars standing in this vineyard, hence the name. Celeste is an opulent wine brimming with fruit, body and colour.

This is a wonderful introduction to Rioja. The 2013 Laderas de Cabama is bursting with silky red cherry, liquorice and chocolate and a touch of fine tannin on the finish.

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 […]

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. Condado de Haza is plump, textural and with a more rugged structure. The microclimate here is tempered by its […]

I have tasted the 2016 twice recently, with consistent results. Love it! The 2017 Horizonte de Exopto is a very different wine, due to the cooler nature of the vintage. If the 2016 is a broadsword, the 2017 is a rapier. With a spicy nose of red and dark cherries, I wasn’t expecting the plunge […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Impenetrable, and one of the darkest pitch Tempranillo’s I have tasted. Dark, dark fruits, licorice and very tight. There are glimpses of morello cherries, which really lifts the wine and points to a compelling, mysterious evolution. Exotic notes kick in after you leave the wine for a few minutes. Thyme, lavender, grenadine and blood orange. […]
