Olivier Riviere Rioja Tinto Rayos Uva 2019
Add to cart$32.00in any six
$36.00 per single bottle
Contemporary Rioja meets traditional Rioja. Vibrant, juicy red and black fruits, with a dusting of herbs and spices. Sleek palate and chalky tannins. The very young red 2019 Rayos Uva shows nice aromas and the roundness of 2019, when Rivière had lower yields, and the fruit is very defined. There is a change to adapt to the vintage, so […]

La Rioja Alta Vina Ardanza Reserva 2010
Add to cart$85.00in any six
$93.00 per single bottle
Dried cherries, cedar, sandalwood, tar, treacle tart, cinnamon and vanilla. Medium body, fine-grained and very silky tannins for a wine of almost 10 years of age, bright and transparent acidity and a long, very spicy finish. Like going back in time and touching an ornate tapestry. The texture is mesmerizing. 96 points – James Suckling […]

Veronica Ortega Cobrana 2017
Add to cart$48.00in any six
$52.00 per single bottle
This wine comes from the village of Cobrana in the north east of Bierzo. It is Mencia but with a little palmino and godello as the vineyards were traditionally planted with some white grapes in the past. The reason why Veronica has started to work with this vineyard is because it is planted straight into […]

Valenciso 10 Anos Rioja 2008
Add to cart$92.00in any six
$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 […]

Olivier Riviere Rioja Tinto Gabaxo 2018
Add to cart$47.00in any six
$51.00 per single bottle
The 2018 Gabaxo was singing when I tasted it. Despite 2018 being a more austere year, this was floral and elegant, insinuating and nuanced, very expressive. This is different from the previous years when the wine was a 50/50 blend of Garnacha and Tempranillo. Now, there’s less Tempranillo and more Garnacha, and Graciano comes into […]

$71.00 per single bottle
As with the rest of the wines, I tasted the first two vintages bottled, including the 2018 Fuente de los Huertos Garnacha from a cold and wet year, very different than 2017. The fermentation and élevage were similar: a long maceration with full clusters and one year in used 500-liter oak barrels that are quite […]

Veronica Ortega Version Original Mencia 2017

$63.00 per single bottle
The 2017 VO Versión Original is an old-vine Mencía from the same vineyards where Ortega gets the grapes for ROC, but these vines are in the lower part where there’s more sand and deeper soils, which tends to produce more concentrated wine. The full clusters fermented with indigenous yeasts, and the wine matured in a […]

Valenciso Laderas De Cabama 2014
Add to cart$37.00in any six
$41.00 per single bottle
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. […]

$99.00 per single bottle
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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

$125.00 per single bottle
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 […]

2012 was a warm and dry year, when some vines were blocked and stopped ripening the grapes.

Valenciso’s 2012 Reserva has more stuffing and power than the 2011 and comes from a year that was saved by some […]
