  • 2010 Coleccion 125 Reserva, Chivite Family EstateRed Wine

    2010 Coleccion 125 Reserva, Chivite Family Estate

    £2750

    A delicious 100% Tempranillo which comes from Chivites Legardeta estate.    A bright lifted nose of raspberries and strawberries leads on to a sweet and supple red fruit profile on the palate. The focus is on precision and elegance rather than power, so the tannins are gentle and soft while the acidity is bright and balanced. Traditional tempranillo at its best.

  • 2017 Mayor De Ondarre Rioja Reserva, Bodegas OndarreRed Wine

    2017 Mayor De Ondarre Rioja Reserva, Bodegas Ondarre

    £2895

    It is only in years with grapes of exceptional quality that a limited number of bottles of Mayor de Ondarre Rioja Reserva are produced. From two plots of old vines, the grapes are handpicked into small crates and then sorted to ensure only the best quality fruit makes the blend. The winemaking is classic Rioja, with 19 months in oak casks (80% French and 20% American), with the aim of preserving maximum concentration. A further couple of years in the bottle result in a completely mindblowing Rioja.

    In the glass, it has a  dark cherry colour with shades of iodine- blue. On the nose, it has a complex bouquet of fruit, with smoky and spicy aromas. On the palate, it is full-bodied and long, with a lot of concentration, which augurs well for a long life ahead.

  • 2017 Viña Ardanza Reserva, La Rioja Alta Wine Republic Heros Red Wine

    2017 Viña Ardanza Reserva, La Rioja Alta

    £3250

    La Rioja Alta’s Viña Ardanza Reserva is one of the finest Reserva’s available and a benchmark for the region.  Every vintage is outstanding and never fails to elicit a smile upon drinking.    La Rioja Alta is the gold standard for traditional bodegas: a winery that ages their wines the old-fashioned way, meaning three years in barrel with two rackings a year, followed by three years in bottle.

    Outstanding aromatic intensity on the nose, with spicy and balsamic liquorice, clove, nutmeg and black pepper notes, enveloping a subtle hint of ripe red fruit: brandied cherry and raspberry jam. The palate is well-balanced and fresh, with a broad range of flavours and soft, round tannins, leading to a spicy, balsam-like aftertaste on the finish.

    A Viña Ardanza in its prime and with a long life ahead of it.

    The 2016 vintage comprises 80% Tempranillo from Fuenmayor and Cenicero blended together with 20% Garnacha from the famous ‘La Pedriza’ vineyard in Tudelilla.

  • 2015 Martelo Reserva Rioja, Torre de OñaRed Wine

    2015 Martelo Reserva Rioja, Torre de Oña

    £3600

    The 2015 Finca Martelo Reserva is a juicy wine, thrilling the mouth with plentiful red and black fruit. A wise and careful ageing process in wood is appreciated in its seductive and well-balanced character and fresh sensations. It makes no attempt to hide the power of its modern profile but the character of a traditional wine and other more evolved touches are never far away. A top-quality Reserva wine produced by a winery steeped in expertise creating classic Rioja wines.

    Head winemaker Julio Saenz refers to it as “our little Burgundy” because of how closely it represents this unique location. In fact, the wine itself is a field blend, 95% Tempranillo with 5% other varieties including Mazuelo, Garnacha, and even Viura. The chalk soils and 80-year-old vines at Torre de Oña produce a fuller, riper style of Rioja, while the high altitude and Atlantic influence in Rioja Alavesa keeps the wine fresh and elegant. This style is complemented by the use of 20% French oak and shorter maturation, alongside La Rioja Alta’s ultra-traditional methods such as racking by hand.

  • 2018 Rioja ‘Vino De Pueblo’ Leza L3Z4, BadiolaRed Wine

    2018 Rioja ‘Vino De Pueblo’ Leza L3Z4, Badiola

    £3750

    Badiola is the creation of 2 Masters of Wine, Andreas Kubach and Sam Harrop along with txakoli producer Gorka Izagirre.   Andreas and Sam along with Winemaker Tao Plantón craft modern Rioja wines with an emphasis on-site rather than how long it has aged in an oak barrel.  The winemaking philosophy is to obtain very pure, fresh and well-textured wines that reflect their origin.

    This 2018 L3Z4 is a balanced and smooth wine delivering rich aromas of dark cherries complemented by delicate hints of spice and herbal notes of thyme and rosemary.

    Current Denominación de Origen regulations in Rioja only permit the use of a village name on the label by the location of the winery (i.e. the building, not the vineyards) thus the wine from the Leza vineyards is marketed as L3Z4.

    The grapes come from carefully selected parcels in the village of Leza, close to the Sierra Cantabria and produce structured wines from old vines planted at 600 metres elevation. The mesoclimate here is cool and humid, which leads to later ripening than other areas in the region and the wines have dense, inky and muscular tannins with a dark fruit profile. The bush vines are planted in limestone soils and are cultivated with respect for the environment, using minimal sprays of copper and sulphur.

  • 2016 Gran Reserva Viña Arana, La Rioja AltaRed Wine

    2016 Gran Reserva Viña Arana, La Rioja Alta

    £4650

    Tempranillo (95%) is the main variety and comes from three vineyards in Rodezno (Las Cuevas, El Palo and Las Monjas) It is blended with 5% Graciano from the Montecillo vineyard in Fuenmayor. The 2016 Gran Reserva is an exceptional vintage with aromas of wildflowers and berries combined with sweet spice, dark chocolate and balsamic notes adding layers of complexity to this concentrated wine.

    “The 2016 harvest is one of the highest quality I have seen, with a good level of volume. The vintage was characterised by perfect grapes and Viña Arana shows an immaculate balance between all elements of the wine, showcasing the contemporary Gran Reserva style at La Rioja Alta, S.A. The nose stands out with its impressive aromatic intensity, and there is a great flavour concentration that will allow the wine to age for a very long time, and in a few years it will be superb.” Julio Saénz, head winemaker, La Rioja Alta

  • 2019 Reserva, Viña PedrosaRed Wine

    2019 Reserva, Viña Pedrosa

    £4795

    Vina Pedrosa is made by the Pérez Pascua family in the Ribera del Duero.  Brothers Benjamin, Manuel and Adolfo have been instrumental in transforming the sleepy town of Pedroso into one of Northern Spain’s most revered wine locations.

    This 2019 Reserva is made from 35-year-old vines where every grape is carefully harvested by hand with an emphasis placed on low yields, to obtain beautifully balanced, highly focused grapes.

    In the glass, it is bursting with aromas of dense, ripe fruit, vigorous herbs, menthol, spice and coffee.  The palate has wonderfully rounded fruit flavours with pleasing tannins and balanced acidity.  A steely undercurrent of minerality invigorates the palate.  Vina Pedrosa’s Reserva has already spent 2 years ageing in the barrel, and a further year in the bottle before release, priming it for your enjoyment.   This wine will age gracefully for up to 15 years.   We suggest decanting one hour before serving.
