Out of stockBodegas Jorge Ordóñez Málaga, located in Ordóñez’s hometown, was founded in 2004. A partnership between Ordóñez and the Kracher family of Austria, the winery was founded with the goal of resuscitating the centuries long tradition of winemaking in Málaga, which was destroyed by the phylloxera plague in the 19th century. It was Jorge’s dream to champion his home region and restore it to its former glory. This Sweet muscat is sourced from a vineyard planted in 1908, so they are all bush vines (Gobelet) which means that everything is done by hand as machine can't handle this type of training. On the top of that, inclination is highly marked, the vineyards are amongst the steepest in the world up to 70%!!! that is Huge. A superb wine, aromatic, balanced highly concentrated in sugar. very persistent tasteand one of the longest finish you will ever experience in your whole life.

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.

Menade Ecologic
100% Verdejo Unthinkable, but Menade is a new organic estate! in less than 10 years, Menade is clearly one of the most reliable white Rueda for our clients. And my wife favorite, by the way. Therefore, Menade was the very first estate in rueda to turn organic. Now, they understood completely their vineyards, thanks to the talented Richard. As a result, they are producing new wines from specific parcels. ( la mission, nosso…) Menade Verdejo is surely the most appreciated white on our portfolio.-
Highly reliable and always dry, crisp, light and elegantly aromatic.

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

Out of stockNisia is back in shape, after one or two vintages on the funky side. Verdejo is now the trendiest white variety in Spain, and it has been like this for the past 10 years. So we can say that people love Verdejo. what can I say, well...A lot! It is dry, aromatic, crisp and gentle. most of the time unoaked (although some oaky version are showing well these days). It is the perfect white for anything. Aperitif, light salads, cheeses (especially goat cheeses), mussels, sushi, week-ends, holidays...
