Marqués de Murrieta Reserva Tempranillo Blend
What a coup to get this wine into our range. Certainly and deservedly one of the most highly regarded Rioja producers. These are the Riojas from which dreams are made. Think leather chesterfields, smoked meats and cigar-box.
Bodegas Valdemar Conde Valdemar Rioja Reserva
Intense red cherry colour, clean and bright. It displays intense notes to ripe fruit and spicy touches, well integrated with the oak ageing.

From the family's first winery, established in Rioja in 1889, to their opening of their ultra-modern winery in 1985, Bodegas Valdemar have always been innovators in the region. All of their wines are made from estate-grown grapes and they have become renowned for their modern, attractive style of wines which have become a benchmark for the region.
Clos Ibai Rioja Tinto
Clos Ibai Rioja Blanco
A scintillating Viura dominant blend from organically-farmed, high-altitude vineyards in Baños de Ebro.
Clos Ibai Rioja Garnacha Blanca
The Garnacha Blanca is from Clos Ibai’s young vines, planted in 2014 and sitting at 400m elevation on the clay/limestone soils of Baños de Ebro. These vines are now certified organic. Grapes were hand-picked, and whole-clusters were pressed to stainless steel for fermentation. Maturation was for eight months in inox tanks on lees.
Tasca Lamuri Nero d'Avola
Bright, intense ruby red, Tasca Lamuri Nero d'Avola displays rich aromas of cherry, blackberry and mulberry. Vanilla bean, tobacco and aromatic herbs on the palate lead into dark forest fruits and oak adding a beautifully balanced flavour. Good structure and pleasantly fruity with red and black berries.
Massolino Dolcetto D'Alba
Drawn from well-sited 2.5 hectares within the Serralunga postcode Massolino's Dolcetto D'Alba has a wonderfully flowing texture for this variety. It's long and refreshing with chalky acidity, in the best Dolcetto manner. Whatever else Dolcetto is, it simply has to be fun and delicious to drink.
