Winery Notes - "The most sought-after wine in the nooks of bodegas. It combines all the virtues of the best Amontillados on the nose and of the finest Olorosos in the mouth. It is a wine which was born by chance, the result of a mystery yet to be solved. Complex, very long equally suited for solitary meditation and lively conversation among friends."
100% Palomino variety. Initially this wine is subject to biological aging process, however, less than an Amontillado; … more

Today Jerome and Sylvain Delord, Propers great grandchildren continue the tradition with the same passion, knowledge and love that has been handed down through the generations. First inhalations draw out caramel and dark honey followed by vanilla and hints of pipe tobacco. The customary Armagnac fruits are restrained. Medium bodied, raisiny and semi-sweet with broad flavours … more

Grown on 27-year-old vines, winemaker Luke Lambert had a great pay off for an intense harvest period filled with twists and turns. Their patience paid off however, it's a bright, fresh and eminently drinkable drop that you might not have recognised as Cabernet Sauvignon if you're used to the dense, dark styles of yesteryear.

"Made with 10% whole bunches and matured in French puncheons (33% new). A medium ruby garnet. A little reduction, which quickly blows off to reveal aromas of wild strawberries, damson plums, a little rose petal and subtle hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. There's good intensity on the medium-bodied palate together with fine but firm tannins. This will only get better over the next four to six years, if not longer." 95 points, Philip Rich, The Wine Companion

Descendientes de José Palacios (DJP) is one of three estates of the family of Alvaro Palacios. The 'descendientes' are Alvaro Palacios and his nephew Ricardo Perez Palacios, both of whom grew up in the area of Rioja. The estate began when they identified very old plantings on Mencía on the high mountainous slopes of Corullón, which they have in subsequent years renovated the vineyards and refined their approach to vinifying Mencía.
This particular bottling comes from the Las Llamos plot, … more

The big brother to Petalos. This wine shows extra depth and increased minerality. This is a seriously good wine that rivals Bordeaux/Burgundy/Barolo for sense of place, intrigue and complexity. Look out for the Single Vineyard DJP wines for a mind blowing experience.

Mencia is one of the rare gems that you only find in Spain. Similar to Cab Franc with its crushed raspberries and floral characters paired with firm structure. This is probably the best introduction to variety around, plus it is a stunning wine in its own right. Petalos is a regional expression of Bierzo Mencía, a style largely responsible for putting Mencía on the global wine map, while the Corullon is akin to their 'Grand Cru' bottling.

Winery Notes "Upon arrival at the winery, hand-picked fruit is destemmed without crushing and elevated into small open fermenters. Fruit remains un-inoculated for 2-3 days and when fermentation is observed, a cultured yeast is added. Depending on the season, a percentage of fruit may be left as whole bunches and fermented separately to the destemmed fruit and blended back into the finished wine. During fermentation, must temperatures peak at around 32°C and the cap is plunged or pumped-over up to … more

"The Heathcote Col Mountain Grenache project continues to gain pace. The rocky and steep Col Mountain vineyard is a fabulous site for this impressive variety. It delivers delicious fruit and site pure wine in a medium bodied style. The wine is made like our Pinot Noir, with wild yeast in open fermenters and handled quite gently. The 2024 has a charming purity that lifts from the glass; raspberry, pomegranate, red roses and a little earth. The palate is supple and … more
