Quinta da Muradella Monterrei Castrillón 2012

The wine takes its name from El Castrillón, a co-plantation vineyard on slate soils located in the Monterrei highlands at 700m above sea level. Mateo believes this single vineyard was planted between 60 and 80 years ago and so far he's identified Mencía, Bastardo, Tinta da Zorra, Garnacha Tintorera, Gran Negro and Verdello (Godello) amongst the varieties. Containing grapes that are not recognised in the appellation, this wine does not carry the D.O. Monterrei on the label (not that I … more

Valenciso Rioja Reserva 2015 Magnum

100%, handpicked Tempranillo from the clay/limestone soils around Haro. The grapes come from 11 plots, including Villalba, Rodezno Briones and Ollauri, all managed organically and cropped at well below the regional norms. Valenciso ferment in cement vats with native yeasts, and the wine is then aged for 17 months in low-toast, French oak barriques, one-third replaced each year.

Following its time in barrel, this wine was transferred back into concrete vats to settle for a further 12 months to clarify. … more

Cillar de Silos Estate Tempranillo 2018 Magnum

Blueberry, tobacco and hung beef - it's gotta be Ribera! Well, good Ribera anyway ...With a pronounced earthiness, cool and precise in line, low in fructose, elegant and fine. Not a wine of bigness, it's a lovely, pure wine of very high quality and beautifully composed. Dark cherry fruit specked with tobacco melds into a fine tannin line which itself seems indivisible from fruit and also from earth and is wired on steely minerals and fine natural acidity.

Bodegas R. López de Heredia Viña Tondonia Reserva 2011

94 Pts Luis Gutierrez of The Wind Advocate "The 2011 Viña Tondonia Reserva is darker and shows riper fruit, a rounder palate and some dusty tannins. A year of ripeness, concentration and tannin, the wine is powerful with the finesse of Tondonia. Tasting this next to the textbook 2010 Tondonia revealed how this has more muscle and a wider back and the 2010 epitomizes the finesse and elegance. 270,000 bottles produced, bottled in May 2019."

Equipo Navazos La Bota de Pedro Ximénez 'Casa del Inca' 2017

Pérez Barquero, D.O. Montilla-Moriles. A limited release of 3,000 bottles (for the world), this P.X. is a nod to the past when Pedro Ximénez was often a vintage wine and released young without extended ageing, nor the resulting rancio characters that such maturation brings. This wine comes from late-harvested P.X. grapes from one of Montilla's best vineyards. Fortification is carried out only with top-quality, wine-based spirits. After 18 months resting in the traditional, large, cone-shaped 'amphora' of the type used … more
