$40.00Australian tempranillo has never looked better and this is one of the best. Cola, blackcurrant, fennel, vanilla, mulberry, cherry and balsamic notes.

Valenciso 10 Anos Rioja 2008
$90.00The 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 […]

Akutain Crianza Rioja 2016
$50.00Fermented in fiberglass vats with native yeasts, and then raised for 1 year and 9 months in used American oak barrels, with an additional year in the bottle before release – far exceeding the Rioja D.O.’s ageing requirements for Crianza wines.

Valenciso Laderas De Cabama 2014
$37.00Out of Stock
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. […]

Valenciso Reserva Rioja 2012
$62.00Out of Stock
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 […]
