the real stuff! you thought you like Ribera del Duero... yes? Then you have to taste this wine. 100% Tempranillo aged 36 months in oak. Deeply coloured, highly concentrated, intense on the nose and the palate. This has to be decanted at least 2 hours before. or you can aged it for another 10 years. Tiny production -
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. -
Ribera del Duero is home to some great wines with stunning value! this wine is one of them. no tricks, no make up!A lovely young full-bodied red aged 9 months in oak. I open regularly a bottle a home as it evolves pretty well over 3 days, without loosing charm! I just love it. -
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) -
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! -

Clio is on of the most sought-after wines from Gil Estate. Avaibility is very low. we do not receive more than 20 cases per year! Big wine, yielded from monastrell and Cabernet Sauvignon. Highly concentrated, very new worldy. But a must try. -
Stunning wine from Jumilla, organic, full-bodied, and packed with flavours. Raspeberry, smoky, herbs. rich ripe tannins. lovely texture and lingering finish. -
Full-bodied red, with rich texture and smooth tannins. Raspberry, figs and juicy. ideal for BBQ. Not as big as the Organic one! -
Blau is an easy drinking full-bodied red from souther Catalunya. Montsant is now famous, thanks to its neighbor Priorat. Wines are similar, except that prices a usually friendly in Montsant. -
A serious wine from Montsant, heavy bottle and heavy wine! This blend of Syrah, carignan and grenache has spent 18 months in french oak. the result is in a big, rich wine that acquire elegance and freshness from the carignan grapes. Very good indeed.
