Elegant and round. It is well balanced with a velvety attack followed by a pleasant acidity and a silky and full-bodied aftertaste resulting from its noble and ripe tannin. Its long aftertaste has spicy and balsamic hints, resulting from its long and peaceful ageing, as well as confit fruit nuances that uncover its personality.

Fleshy and fresh old fashioned Rioja

Jancisrobinson.com 17 "Very deep crimson. Lovely mellifluous nose but with great structure. Fresh and yet luscious. Good Value". Surprising these 2 varieties aren't seen more in Oz. Properly structured classy dinner wine, great value -as Jancis says.

This is a soft, easy drinking dry red wine full of delicious ripe fruit flavours. Enjoy it with tapas food or simply on its own.

Juicy, concentrated Tempranillo palate, with strawberry and vanilla scent and bright, bouncy fruit.

Parker 93+ ...5% of the barrels were produced with American oak at the Vega Sicilia cooperage. The new winery was 100% ready and now has much better facilities. The élevage lasted 12 months, and this has contained ripeness and integrated oak. The year had freshness and balance and helped to produce lighter and more expressive wines, like this one. This has to be one of the finest vintages for this cuvée.

El Valiente is a fruity wine but maintaining the essence of Bodegas Valdaya, with floral memories, such as violet and balsamic. It maintains the classic elegant character of their wines but offering a more fruity and lovely profile. Very fresh with a delightful velvety texture. This is everything you want in a quality Spanish wine, wonderful nose, sumptuous fruit and elegant oak all working in harmony with each other.

A sumptuous, handcrafted Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero DO, the Valdaya shines with aromas of dried fruit and balsamic hints. Flavours of ripe blackberries and dark cocoa complement the silky palate and subtle tannic structure.

Made using only free-run juice aged for 15 months, this is a wine of great freshness, minerality and aromatics. Ripe black fruit flavours, floral notes and a silky texture make for a luxurious feeling wine. TIM ATKIN MW SAYS... “Valdaya's top red, Mirum, keeps improving with every vintage and is now among the best wines inRibera del Duero. Made with Tinto Fino from old-vine parcels - LosBueyes and LasPiedras -inBaños de Valdearodos, it's very much a limestone-influenced style from 925 metres, with subtle wood, chalky minerality,red berry fruit,tension and floral, violet top notes. Long, stylish and beautifully judged. 2022-30”

Beronia has blended modern and traditional touches to create a fine gran reserva with spice, vanilla, coconut, tobacco and dried berry aromas.

Top-end and faultless. Beautifully broad, aristocratic dinner wine. Liquorice, chopped nuts, balsamic, leather. Silky rounded tannins. Tons of awards

Ruby red colour with violet tints showing its youth. On the nose it is fresh and elegant with characteristic aromas of cherry and red fruits typical of this variety. Light, harmonic and round on the palate with soft tannins.

Fruity aromas enveloped by noble woods, with hints of vanilla and toast. Suggestive, enveloping and polished. Palate: It fills the mouth without aggressiveness, smooth and round. Ready to drink, although it can be saved some years.

A small family-run bodega near the village of Navarrete, in the heart of Rioja D.O.C., making wines of great integrity and some finesse. It was founded in 1918 and is today run by Antonio Navajas and his wife. This is a big favourite of many of our customers and on a 'value for money' basis it is not hard to understand why.

Baby wine of Pingus. Parker 94 " without a doubt the finest PSI to date". Epic Ribera del Duero

90% Tempranillo, 5% Graciano and 5% Garnacha from Rioja, Spain. The wine spends 20 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels. Inviting aromas of ripe black cherry, nice vanilla notes and a touch of balsamic. The wine tastes smooth and round in the mouth with lots of tart black cherry fruit, sweet spice notes, licorice and more vanilla.

Extremely fruity, it displays aromas of red berries on a subtle yet appealingly spiced background. Structured, elegant and velvety in the mouth. Long, fresh and appealing finish.

Lopez de Haro Tempranillo is pure young Tempranillo: strawberries, raspberries, flowers and red licorice notes. A pleasure to drink slightly chilled with charcuterie. Refreshing and a real bargain.

Rich, fruity and intense, it is loaded with raspberry and black cherry aromas, cedar chips and pretty violet notes and a hint of vanilla. The vanilla pops back again on the palate with caramel and supple grapey flavours.

100% Tempranillo. The Celeste begins with a really lovely and expressive nose of dark fruit (blackberry, black cherry, black currant) as well as some vanilla. This medium to full-bodied wine wine tastes simply succulent with lots of juicy fruit and a smooth texture.

Splendidly evolved, orange/brick red, almost-pinot-like delicacy with a hot-earth rusticity and nutmeg spice. Highly drinkable, stunning value baby wine of this most eccentric but super-traditional Rioja estate - a real bargain and treat.

Graciano is one of the key components of Rioja wines, but rarely is it seen bottled as a single variety. Rich and intense, with floral, violet, and red cherry aromas, and a deep chocolatey finish.

Delicious everyday red- no further discounts

Very good Rioja that offers superb value. One year in a mixture of French and American oak barrels, adds texture and flavour to the tempranillo dominant blend from one of Rioja's most consistent producers.

Old low-yield vineyards, located in Quintanilla de Onésimo, with great mesoclimate and soil conditions. Aged 14 months in second hand French oak barrels. Deep purple ruby, youthful. Cool, menthol, blueberry, graphite nose, exciting. Intense palate, plenty of tannins but chock full of bramble, blueberry fruit, decent acidity and earnest concentration. Will be very good from 2021 onwards.

The Bardos Reserva is an elegant high-altitude expression of Ribera del Duero wine made from low-yielding Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged for 14 months in oak, it has excellent structure from balanced tannins and acidity, alongside complex notes of dark fruit, chocolate and vanilla spice.

Navajas is a family-run estate, situated outside the small town of Navarrete in La Rioja Alta. Antonio Navajas makes quintessential Rioja - soft, round and oaky. This is a superb example of a crianza combining ripe, sweet fruit with vanillin scented oak.

Located in Gumiel de Mercado, in the heart of Ribero del Duero, 20km north of Aranda on silty and clayey sand this red is made from 100% Tempranillo grapes from 25 years old vines in Finca de Revillalcepo. The wine receives 6 months ageing in a combination of French (for spicy flavours) and American (for vanilla flavours) oak barrels. Textbook Ribera del Duero...on the nose there is a backdrop of cherry and plums with added spice and leather. On the palate it is a medium to full-bodied, silky smooth style.

PSI is the latest personal project of Peter Sisseck. He embarked himself on a new quest: to produce a wine under a new perspective and at the same time capturing the soul of Ribera del Duero. The new winery was then born in 2007, with the idea of creating a new, relatively inexpensive wine, that he will make in cooperation with local growers, working on the fundamentals of organic and biodynamic viticulture. They will employ longer and gentler macerations to get the most harmonious extraction as possible, and avoid the use of new wood with no attempt to give pride of place to the wood, giving priority to the fruit, the freshness and the finesse. Clear and clean aromas of blue fruits on the nose, raspberry and licorice complemented by some spice notes. Soft and pleasant entry on the palate, good acidity and lively black fruit flavours. Very expressive with very fine tannins. Made from Tinto Fino (the grape that established the region’s fame, also called Tinta del Pais, a local variant of Rioja’s Tempranillo) and a tiny small percentage of Grenache, mostly older vines from 630 plots from 21 different villages. Made at seven different cellers using two selection tables and their own tanks. Vinification takes place in traditional concrete tanks and has aged during 18 months in a mix of second and third year oak barrels used for the Pingus and also in large Foudres, avoiding voluntarily the use of new wood.

Graciano is one of the key components of Rioja wines, but rarely is it seen bottled as a single variety. Rich and intense, with floral, violet, and red cherry aromas, and a deep chocolatey finish.

Vega Sicilia - Spain's most prestigious wine producer. Unico is their flagship wine, making this the crème de la crème of Spanish wines. Unico is aged for 10 years before release, and is predominantly made with Termpranillo, with some Cabernet Sauvignon. 96/100 from RobertParker.com

Alion, founded in 1992, a more modern expression of Ribero del Duero from Vega Sicilia, showcasing Tempranillo. 2018 was a fresh, Atlantic-influenced vintage, giving this Alión a more vertical, longer, and elegant expression.

'The straight Valdaya release is made with fruit from three different soil types in remote, high-altitude Baños de Valdearados. Intensely floral and refined as Marta Ramas and Miguel Fisac's wines always are, this is a polished Ribera with chalky intensity, fine-boned tannins and layers of plum and blueberry fruit. Drink 2023-29'. - Tim Atkin MW - 94pts

Made using only free-run juice aged for 15 months, this is a wine of great freshness, minerality and aromatics. Ripe black fruit flavours, floral notes and a silky texture make for a luxurious feeling wine. 'One of the great wines of Spain, not just Ribera del Duero, Mirum comes from a single, 1.2-hectare parcel in Baños de Valdearados. Fermented in concrete vats and aged in 20% new wood, it's pure, focused and violetscented, with pure plum and black cherry fruit, wonderful vivacity and focus, textured tannins, subtle wood spices and a long, chiselled, balanced finish. Drink 2023-32'. - Tim Atkin MW - 97pts

The big boy, great as a centre piece for a big dinner party, it is really delicious. Serve with legs of lamb or suckling pig.
