Big Red El Bombero has been a top choice with customers for many years. And in seriously good vintages, like 2012, winemaker Javier Domeque crafts a sophisticated Gran Reserva version using the pick of the crop from his oldest vines. To qualify for Gran Reserva status, the wine was aged in oak for three years with further time in bottle prior to release. It's made entirely from Garnacha, an important component of many full bodied Spanish reds, and also of Châteauneuf du Pape from neighbouring France. At 14% vol, it's a touch less powerful than El Bombero itself but full of rich berry flavour and with delicious spicy complexity from American oak. The 2011 is perfect right now. Just decant for an hour and serve with roast shoulder of lamb.

Aromas of plum and dark berry fruits with hints of spice, mataro earthiness, licorice and dark chocolate. Flavours of spice and bright red fruits, some savoury earthiness, plum and rich black fruit with oak complexity.

The region of Cariñena is “home to some of the best value reds of Spain, if not the world” (Decanter) and this gorgeously intense, ripe fruit red is from one of the most awarded cellars there. High up and inland, the Cariñena region (confusingly it’s also the name of a grape!) enjoys a climate both Continental and Mediterranean. In lay terms, that means plenty of sunshine, but not too hot. Add in the grand age of the vines and the stony soils and it’s the perfect recipe for intensely flavoured, well balanced reds. Viña Altogrado in a nutshell. Made from old vine Garnacha grapes, this red is seriously long and brightly fruity – the ideal partner for traditional Spanish lamb dishes, grilled meats or tapas. A great choice for a barbecue, too.

This parcel was carefully selected by winemaker Nick Badrice. True to its name, Nick describes this wine as 'the ultimate Barossa Grenache'. It offers berries, spice and wild raspberry notes with velvety tannins on the lingering finish.

Matsu, a Japanese word that means ""wait,"" conveys the philosophy of this project: waiting for nature to take its course, for the vineyards to turn 100, and for the perfect moment to open a bottle of wine. This project, rooted in Spain’s Toro region, pays homage to the generations of viticulturists who have worked the land. By focusing on ancient Tinta de Toro vines (Tempranillo) and collaborating with local growers, Matsu preserves the region's rich viticultural history. Each bottle features a portrait of a local winemaker representing the wine’s personality.Pícaro (The Rogue) represents the younger generation strong, brave, and full of energy. Vinified in concrete tanks to preserve the wine's fruit-forward character, it displays an explosion of dark fruit, including blackberries, blueberries, and damson plums. The palate is supple and round, with a juicy mouthfeel and soft tannins. It is an approachable wine that captures the unbridled power of Toro in a youthful, vibrant style.
