Rey Del Mundo Organic Tempranillo
Barón de Barbón Oak Aged Rioja
Vintage after vintage, Barón de Barbón proves to be our bestselling Rioja. It’s a lot to do with the wine’s enticing berry aromas, silky texture and luscious flavour. The talent behind this contemporary, fruit driven red is the young and infectiously keen Javier Murúa. His father Julián owns Bodegas Muriel (a winery Julián’s parents established in 1926) in Rioja’s superior Alavesa. We have a fabulous working relationship with the family, ensuring our Buyer Beth goes in straight after vintage and gets first refusal on the finest vats. With its easy going, ripe red berry flavours and fragrant vanilla character, this supple Rioja is great to drink on its own or with simple suppers such as lamb chops, char-grilled vegetable kebabs or chicken.
Zinio St Art CollectTempranillo
Zinio honours the artists responsible for their striking labels with a nod to the street art that makes the vibrant city of Logrono in the heart of Rioja so special. This brilliant fruit forward tempranillo is grown at an altitude of 550m above sea level on Clay and Limestone soils showing freshness and complexity. Grapes were destemmed and gently crushed before a 24 hour cold soak prior to fermentation in order to achieve maximum flavour extraction. The resulting wine is deep purple
Palacio del Conde Gran Selección
As Robert Parker says, “Spain leads the world for sensational wine bargains of character and soul”, none more so than its mature reds. Nowhere else produces mellow, barrel-aged wines of such remarkable quality and price. Take Palacio del Conde – a gorgeously complex, oaky 2015 from Valencia. Part of this region is close to the coast, while the more southerly part is inland, up in the hills, and dry. It’s there that winemaker Marta Martínez selects the finest, hand harvested – from 50 year old vines – Tempranillo grapes for this Gran Reserva, then ages the wine for three years in oak barrels. A wonderfully fragrant, silky red with mature redcurrant and strawberry fruit and a rich, toasty character. Sublime with roast lamb or tapas. Its three recent Gold wins show its drinking beautifully now.
Conde de Tresaguas Rioja
A wine that highlights the bold yet elegant nature of Rioja Tempranillo, Conde de Tresaguas was recently awarded the Gold Medal at the Gilber & Gaillard International Competition. Aromas of ripe blackberries and dark cherries, along with notes of fresh tobacco, vanilla, and cedary oak. With a velvety mouthfeel framing lavours of juicy plum, blackcurrant, and a touch of mocha, this is a fruit-filled, balanced Rioja with a long and satisfying after-taste, offering outstanding value.
Devil's Vine Tempranillo
Devil's Vine is one hell of a wine. This devilish drop is approachable, juicy yet smooth, and intensely satisfying. This wine provides aromas of red berries and plum, with flavours of cherry, raspberry, and strawberry and a hint of spice. Go on….It would be a sin not to.
