Finca Aylés is located in north eastern Spain, near the beautiful city of Zaragoza (Aragón, south-east of La Rioja). The vineyards are at 650 metres and the fruit is night-harvested, ensuring freshness and balance. This fragrant wine exhibits a dense ruby/purple-tinged colour as well as delicious, crunchy black cherry and raspberry fruit with notions of cocoa & vanilla, thanks to a slight stay in oak barrels. It is medium to full bodied, pure, fruity and savoury.

As famed Spanish wine expert John Radford wrote in Decanter, the tiny enclave of Campo de Borja is “the source of some of the best value wines from Spain, if not the world”. It’s true. Where else could you find such a mellow, complex, oak aged red at this price? It’s made by our old friend Pamela Geddes (who also makes our bestselling Monasterio de Santa Cruz) at the 500 year old Bodegas Ruberte. 60% of the wine is Garnacha from vines planted in 1958. They’re not as prolific these days but the intensity of flavour in the grapes is impressive. The balance is Cabernet Sauvignon, which adds classic cassis character and structure to the spicy raspberry Garnacha. A rich and fragrant Spanish red best enjoyed with rustic lamb dishes.

Made from 30-60 year old bush vines of the Tempranillo variety, dry farmed in the traditional Castilian way, and producing very small bunches of grapes, on average less than 2.5 kg per vine. The vineyards are planted at an altitude of 700-800m above sea level, in a dry, very continental climate. Sunny conditions lead to intense fruit aromas and silky tannins, while cool nights help to keep a refreshing acidity, which sustains the wine during its ageing.This is a classic example of elegant, oak aged Spanish red wine, made from the famous Tempranillo variety. On display are ripe berry aromas, which are typical for the variety, and a beautiful, pleasingly complex bouquet, with hints of leather, spice and vanilla. Dry and full bodied, it shows remarkable freshness for its age and boasts a round, velvety texture, as well as great length with a slightly mineral finish. It's a wine that "grows in the glass", developing layers of complexity over time. A versatile food wine, great with meat pies, stews and grilled meat, but also simply with good ham, cheese, bread and olive oil. Ready to drink, but will keep well for three to five years.

Characters of red fruits, bright, mocha tinged cherries and natural forest floor layers. This is a very well rounded wine with smooth tannins and long, lingering finish.

Red ripe cherry color with violaceous hues. Intense on the nose, typical aromas of the Tinto Fino can be perceived, such as mature black fruits, blackberry and currant. The subtle oak notes appear in the background. On the mouth its intense with lively tannins, but mature enough to leave a gentle and mellow sensation on the mouth. This wine is balanced and has a persistent acidity.

Spain continues to inspire Australia with wines of character, tradition and freshness. These characters plus a little bit of passion and beauty can be tasted in this ripping Vino Tinto from Bodegas Borsao. Made from Tempranillo sourced from vineyards in northern Spain that have been producing quality Tempranillo for generations, this flavoursome red shows delicious cherry and plum flavours and it ideally matched with red meats and hard cheeses.
