Basa Verdejo 2016

This is very much the modern face of Spain, being picked into small baskets, de-stemmed, must chilled and fermented in stainless steel. Biological viticulture, and no additions in the winery - just perfectly balanced sugar/acid/tannin in the berry which is then carefully nurtured into balanced wine. Gorgeous texture without overt fructose, perfectly savoury minerality and really good length. Oh, yeah and some really yummy fruit, too.

Matallana Ribera Del Duero 2005

From the Ribera arm of the Telmo Rodrigeuz empire, the Matallana is a Reserva style wine, but avoids the pitfalls of some of the more traditional examples. There is a lot of dark fruits, meaty notes and minerality. Great drinking young, but will flesh out with 3-5 years in the bottle.

Molino Real Moscatel 2009 500ml

The great wines of the past were often sweet wines: Tokaji, Sauternes, Vin Santos, Madeiras, Late Harvest Rieslings, Vins de Paille,.. all associated with the great wine regions of the Old World. In its first auction in 1769, Christie's placed Malaga wines right next to the best wines from the Rhine and Burgundy.

Molino Real Moscatel 2014 500ml

In Malaga, Telmo and Pablo work high up in the mountains, in the village of Cómpeta, whose brown slate slopes face towards Morocco and realise extraordinary Mountain Wines, as the sweet moscatels here are known. This is the most concentrated old vine Moscatel fruit, and has swallowed 20 months in new French barriques. The fruit is so good that the wood is virtually undetectable, save for an extra dimension of spicy, savoury structure tucked into the fruit richness. This is … more

Pegaso Barrancos de Pizzara Garnacha 2007 Magnum

A 'barranco' is a radical vineyard, and they really are: brown schist, ravine-steep, ultra-high-altitude, no 'soil' to speak of, and quite minerally with lots of quartz. Fruit from old, niggardly centenarian bush-vines, now farmed biodynamically, is now gently handled in large older French oak and concrete eggs. Smells of brick-dust, floral red fruits, pimiento and woodspice. Big never so beautiful - it has space, grace and wisdom exceeding extract and alcohol.

Telmo Rodriguez Dehesa Gago Tempranillo 2016

Telmo is flying the flag for unoaked, joven style reds from the best regions around Spanish. The hotter and drier climate at Toro produces tempranillo with more weight and tannin than say Rioja, lending this a somewhat New World feel.
