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. -

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. -

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.

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) -
