  2015 ‘Coleccion’ DO Yecla, Bodega Castano

  £1695

  The Castaño family owns over 410 hectares of vineyards in the Yecla DO in south-eastern Spain. 80% of these vineyards are planted with the native Monastrell variety. For several generations, Bodegas Castaño has been a pioneer in this region and has come to symbolise the best of what southern Spain has to offer: rich, warm climate wines made from grapes grown at altitude, resulting in wines of great character and finesse.

  The grapes for the 2015 ‘Coleccion’ were harvested from 70-year-old Monastrell vines and 32-year-old Cabernet Sauvignon vines, planted at 750 metres above sea level.  Dark and intense in colour, this wine is complex on the nose, with ripe black fruit aromas, notes of roasted coffee and chocolate. Soft on the palate, the wine is full-bodied yet delicate, with marked but elegant sweet tannins, and a long finish.

  2015 Macula, Tandem

  £2495

  Tandem is the visionary project of José Maria Fraile and Alicia Eyaralar, two of Navarra’s most respected winemaking talents. Nestled in the Yerri Valley in northern Spain, the estate is guided by a philosophy of sustainability, low intervention, and respect for the land. Dry-farming, organic vineyard practices, and minimal use of machinery all reflect Tandem’s commitment to preserving the environment while producing wines of depth, purity, and character.

  The 2015 vintage, considered exceptional, provided ideal conditions for the crafting of Macula, a bold yet refined blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (60%) and Merlot (40%). Harvested at optimal ripeness and fermented with precision, the wine captures the unique terroir of the region’s clay-loam soils and cool valley breezes.

  On the nose, Macula 2015 is remarkably complex, unfolding in layers of clove, black pepper, and pipe tobacco, interwoven with earthy minerality, wild herbs, and subtle balsamic notes. A deep core of dark chocolate and black fruit adds richness and intrigue. The palate is full-bodied yet elegant, with velvety tannins and vibrant freshness supporting flavours of ripe blackberry, espresso, and savoury spice. The finish is long, persistent, and perfectly poised, showcasing the wine’s structure, balance, and ageing potential.

  2020 Priorat ‘Mas Blanc +7’, Bodegas Pinord

  £3595

  In the heart of the wine appellation, D.O.Q. Priorat, between the villages of Bellmunt and Falset, Pinord makes its wines from the grapes grown on the 18 hectares (44 acres) of vineyard of their Mas Blanc property.

  Due to its special location, the Mas Blanc property has been caringly transformed by building various kilometres of vine terraces and by planting, cultivating and looking after the traditional grape varieties of Grenache and Carignan (Garnatxa and Carinyena as they are known locally) as well as introducing new varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Merlot. Thus, a wild space has been turned into a model vineyard, with steeply sloping terraces which mean that virtually all vineyard work must be done by hand.

  Ripe, dense black fruits, vanilla and chocolate aromas envelop the full-bodied, but elegant palate, which is rich and very silky with a long, smooth finish.  The ageing in oak is noticeable, well blended with fruity aromas which give it finesse and complexity.

  The grapes are sourced from seven different plots of vineyards, where the soils are made up of a slate known locally as ‘licorella’. Slate soils are known for their heat-retention properties, which encourages the vines to reach maturity. The vines are cultivated organically and harvested by hand.
