Spain
A wonderful selection of wines from across Spain from everyday drinking to the finest available. Not just Rioja!
 |
Spain’s centuries-old wine fame was founded originally on sherry. Its quality wine industry was started by French vignerons who came to the long-established vineyards of the Rioja in the late 19th Century when the phylloxera scourge ravaged the vineyards of France. They brought new wine-making techniques which greatly improved the Spanish wine. For the next hundred years Spanish wine-making stood still. Only very recently have its wine-makers taken notice of the technical advances developed in the New World, but they have done so in a big way. Quality in Spain’s cheap, bulk wines has rocketed forward. Amazingly, it has leapt forward at the same rate in the quality wine regions of the Rioja, Ribero del Duero and Toro. |

Robert Parker 92 Points - New Addition
|
 |
Pure Tempranillo aged in new French oak that is still evident behind the ripe black fruit, coffee and spice aromas, it is incredibly focused on the palate with a core of pure black fruit with mineral notes beneath, it is starting to drink (2009) but with an incredible life ahead of it.

Ripe black and red berry fruits dominate the aromas with plenty of toasty oak. The palate is pure with black fruits dominating and notes of coffee and mineral beneath. Full flavoured and powerful it none-the-less shows elegance and finesse in the fine finish.

From vineyards up to 140 years of age the wine is intensely flavoured (black fruits) with notes of glycerin and cigar box that culminate in an explosive and lasting finish.
