Ignacio de La Rica is a smiling man! This fairly new estate is sourcing his grape from one of the highest Village in La Rioja. An important fact, as it is a cooler area the grapes ripen slowly and keep natural acidity even though they are reaching great maturity. El Buscador is a crianza, but also a great medium bodied red, with smooth tannins god fruit concentration and perfect for drinking now! so perfect that it will put a smile on your face, just like the owner.

Located in the sleepy town of Munébrega, Bodegas Breca was founded by Jorge Ordóñez in 2010 with the mission of producing the finest Garnacha in Aragón. Garnacha de Aragón, the clone used to produce the wines of Bodegas Breca, is the most ancient and genetically untouched clone of of Garnacha (Grenache) in the world. Garnacha was first cultivated in this northeastern corner of Spain, and transplanted across the Mediterranean by the medieval Kingdom of Aragón, which had territories across the Mediterranean Garnacha de Fuego is a quaffer. Great value for money

Mourgues du Gres, southern rhone in style and price! Galets rouge is their entry level, dominated by syrah and topped up with Grenache and mourverdre (according to vintage). Unoaked but aged in concrete vat for 12 to 15 months in order to keep the fruit intensity and tame the tannins. Usually round, Mediterranean with herbs and soft acidity. Still a serious wine for a great price!

Out of stockJorge Ordonez is a talented taster. Avante is the proof. Located in Pedrosa del Duero one of the most highly respected Terrroir in Ribera del Duero, Avante is sourced from a vineyards planted in 1960 and is aged 22 months in French oak. We used to have the 2011 a year ago, and the wine as mind-blowing. Now we carry the fantastic 2014 that needs another 2/3 years to show its full potential. A great bargain if you have that possibility, for less than 20 euros! I have actually bought 6 bottles myself, and I know that in just a few years I will be drinking a really fine wine. Take my words!

Brane Cantenac is a well-known classified Margaux, owned by Pierre Lurton. The quality is back since 2000, wines a powerfull but yet elegant. Slightly modern, with elegance and finesse. Mainly Cabernet Sauvignon, with merlot and some Cabernet Franc. It is aged in oak for 18 months. It can be enjoyed right now, but it has the potential to age a few years in order to gain more complexity!

The vineyard of Matadula is located in Labastida on chalky and clayish soils. It enjoys a southern exposure, quite useful as it is one of the coolest part of la Rioja. this 100% Tempranillo wine is aged in French oak for 18 months. It is a complex with smooth tannins,smoky and packed with fruit. Great work from Finca de La Rica. Their Nomada is very interesting too!

Bagus or Galo's pride!!! Galo being the owner...of course! So far, this is Lopez Cristobal top wine. Exclusively produced from very old vines, this 100% Tempranillo is aged for 14 months in french and American oak. Full-bodied and complex red wines. intense, concentrated but elegant too. Although this 2015 is drinking well now, it will deserve a short cellaring time in order to make the most of it. just another year or two..

This crianza from Ribera del Duero comes from a parcel called Finca La Colorada, it is composed almost entirely from Tinta del Pais (local Tempranillo) with 5% merlot. 12 months in oak (70% French and 30% American). Everything is done by hands, the vines a bush or Gobelet so they cannot be machine harvested. A full-bodied red, with great complexity on the nose and palate. smooth tannins with some sweet spices on the finish. No need to be kept...

Lopez Cristobal is family owned, and produces some fantastic and affordable wines from Ribera del Duero. As a general rule, they do not need to age once the wine are released and are very regular vintage after vintage. the Reserva is no exception, although just like the Crianza the grapes are sourced from a single parcel, called : Finca Valera. Aged 16 months in french oak and 40% in American oak, this wine offers texture, smooth tannins and complexity that has been acquired throught extended oak and bottle aging. Sweet spices, prunes, smokiness, great texture (glyceric) and stunning finish.

This top-notch wine from Bodegas Neo is produced from very old vines of Tinta del Pais (the Local name for Tempranillo). The vineyard is located in La Horra, and not many bottles are produced, less than 5000! it spends 22 month in new oak (80% french and 20% American) This will age easily for another 10/15 years, but it is so good right now that the temptation is too strong. from timt to time, we do receive some older vintages directly from the estate, so do hesitate to contact us as we might be able to impress you. Guia Penin : 93/100

San Vicente 100% Tempranillo Peludo, a clone of tempranillo. It is hard work for the viticulture as it is a lot more prone to disease and also deliver very little volume, but the wines are perfumed, elegant, concentrated. surely a great Rioja! the 18has of the Canoca vineyard was planted in 1985 by Marcos and Miguel father, and they released the first vintage in 1991. Since then San Vicente has become a reference, a totally deserved notoriety! It is perfumed, fresh and concentrated with silky tannins. Need to be decanted, 1 hour before (at least)
