Spain's Noble Red
While Bordeaux prides itself on Cabernet and Burgundy treasures its Pinot Noir, Spain has crafted its vinous identity around the noble Tempranillo. From the sun-drenched hills of Rioja to the high plateaus of Ribera del Duero, this remarkable grape creates wines that speak of tradition, innovation, and unmistakable Spanish character.
Rioja: A Style for Every Palate
The landscape of Rioja has evolved magnificently beyond the old 'traditional versus modern' debate. Today's finest producers craft wines that honour their heritage while embracing contemporary precision. The result? A spectacular range spanning from silky, fruit-forward Crianzas perfect for everyday enjoyment to complex Gran Reservas that rival the world's most celebrated wines.
For those seeking exceptional daily drinking, our carefully curated selection between £15 and £50 offers remarkable value. These wines deliver the perfect balance of authentic Spanish character and modern appeal, ideal for both casual dinners and special occasions.
Ribera del Duero: The Collector's Choice
High above sea level, where days are hot and nights refreshingly cool, Ribera del Duero crafts some of Spain's most compelling wines. Here, Tempranillo takes on a more powerful, structured character. The finest examples show remarkable aging potential, making them increasingly sought-after by collectors and connoisseurs worldwide.
A Matter of Time and Taste
Young Tempranillo captivates with its vibrant dark fruit and subtle spice, making it a perfect companion to a traditional Sunday roast or a hearty shepherd's pie. With age, these wines develop extraordinary complexity - think fine leather, tobacco, and truffle notes - creating magical partnerships with mature cheeses or game dishes.
