La Rioja Alta Gran Reserva 904, Rioja
Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Rioja
Castillo Ygay Tempranillo from the famed Rioja region in Spain was one of the stars of the show at the recent Dan Murphy's Wines of the World Expo! Complex roasted chestnut/mocha/dark berry/leather fruit with superb richness, underlying savoury nuances and ripe chocolaty tannins. Although matured for 31 months in American oak, the oak and fruit integration is sublime.
Algueira Ribeira Sacra Risco
An extraordinary, unique wine with a complex perfume of finely detailed fruit characters that recalls wild cherry steeped with blood orange, rose and a tincture of wild herb. There’s more colour and muscular density from the solar year, yet it remains super lucid and tender and finishes long, leaving behind a lick of elegant tannin and a perfume of sweet red berries and smoky minerals. This is one tasty Bastardo! Expect more power than a Jura red and don’t be afraid to serve it with grilled rib-eye.
Dominio Del Aguila Reserva
Cayuse Impulsivo Tempranillo
Telmo Rodriguez Pago La Jara Toro
Pago la Jara is full of complexity, with all of its tannins, fine oak, spice and fruit blending together in unison. Amongst the spices you can find cacao, anise and some floral notes. A full bodied wine that is very easy to enjoy.

Artadi Vina El Pison, Rioja
The 2 ha El Pison vineyard was planted in 1945 on a gentle sloping site in the shape of an amphitheatre with deep sub-soils. Made entirely from Tempranillo, El Pison is a very rich and intense age-worthy style typically showing great purity of fruit and abundant chalky tannins that benefit from additional cellaring.
Remírez de Ganuza Gran Reserva
The Grand-Daddy of Fernando Remirez de Ganuza's wines derived from Tempranillo. Rich fruit flavours of red cherry and hints of typical cola are dominant with a delicate acid structure perfect for long term aging.
