Opaque cherry red. Rich fruit aromas (cherry, black plum jam) with spicy (green peppercorn) and smoky notes. Intense, warm, with firm tannins nicely structured by oak ageing and a backbone of subtle fruit acidity. Designed to pair perfectly with new trends in avant-garde cuisine. Excellent with all kinds of tapas prepared with fresh ingredients; red meat, oil-rich fish and cheeses. Equally exquisite with cured Ibérico pork. Serve at 14–16°C.

The savoury and smooth Tempranillo is complimented by thespicy fruit and structure of Graciano. The resultant wine has greater intensity, depth and length.

A scintillating Viura dominant blend from organically-farmed, high-altitude vineyards in Baños de Ebro.

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.

The 2023 Lopez Cristobal Roble La Linde Ribera del Duero is a stunning representation of the renowned Rioja region. This wine exudes a deep, ruby red color with glints of purple, giving a glimpse of its complex and rich aromas. On the nose, notes of ripe blackberries, cherries, and plums dance alongside hints of vanilla, spice, and toasted oak. On the palate, this wine is medium-bodied with well-integrated tannins and a silky texture, showcasing flavors of dark fruit, chocolate, and a touch of tobacco. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering essence of raspberry and leather. With its impeccable balance and depth of flavors, this wine is a true testament to the expertise of Lopez Cristobal and the exceptional vintage of 2023. Enjoy now or cellar for future enjoyment.

P.A.R. Tempranillo by Nick Spencer - P.A.R. Wines prophets a landscape transitioning away from traditional grape varieties and wine styles of previous generations into an exciting tapestry of vineyards growing varieties that are better suited to our changing climate and winemakers crafting wines better suited to our evolving lifestyle and cuisine. P.A.R refers to a latin saying, examine the past, be in the present and look to the future.

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.

This exciting Spanish black grape shows hints of red spicy berries, liquorice, raspberries and cherry, with good fleshy finish.

In the most northwesterly corner of Rioja, the flatter land starts rising up into soaring mountains. It's here you'll find the start of the Rioja Alta vineyards – a fine enclave of Spain’s greatest region. There extra altitude freshens as well as ripens grapes slowly to full flavoured perfection. Since most Riojas blend grapes from across the region you almost never see Rioja Alta on labels. In fact, there are only two villages permitted to add it. In one you'll find Juan Antonio Leza’s family winery, the cellar behind Castillo de Epifania. Every grape comes from their sleepy Rioja Alta village. Full of silky dark fruit and strawberry, with a kiss of oak, this red has a delicious 'drink me' style, lovely on its own or with tasty tapas.
