Altos de la Guardia Reserva Rioja 2019

Item Code: 0367119

Description

A lavish, full-bodied Rioja Reserva from top winemaker Jean-Marc Sauboua’s boutique winery. Using superb Tempranillo from high-altitude, 40- to 80-year-old vines, the wine has elegance, intense fruit and structure. And two Golds to its name!

Altos was founded in 2006 by the Haut-Brion-trained winemaker Jean-Marc Sauboua. His aim was to make finest Rioja along Grand Cru Classé lines. So he only uses old-vine grapes from vineyards at 700 metres altitude and climbing. At that height, nights are cold, even in summer, so the grapes are slow to ripen. All the better for freshness and elegance. Add in the expertise and classic training of Jean-Marc Sauboua, and it’s no surprise Altos has won many top awards (over 300 Golds and four trophies). This fine 2019 blends the best cuvées of the vintage, while two years' ageing in part-new French oak lends structure and complexity. With its dark cherry flavours and toasty oak spice, the Reserva is superb with game or lamb. Best decanted.

Low Stock Cuatro Pasos Bierzo Mencía 2021

Cuatro Pasos Bierzo Mencía 2021

Item Code: 4361121

Description

Cuatro Pasos is a fresh, appealing red made purely from Mencía, a grape with echoes of Pinot Noir. The variety is renowned for its vibrant red fruit, floral notes and silky texture, both of which abound in this new red from Bierzo, northwest Spain.

Nearly all of the Bierzo region is dedicated to the Mencía grape, which after decades of producing wines on the tart side of fresh, has now shown its true colours. It makes wines at both ends of the spectrum - young and vibrant with bright red fruits, or from higher, lower yielding sites, more intense, earthy weightier notes, but still with a seam of minerality. This is an elegant, bright red from Katia Álvarez, one of Spain's top female winemakers. She is head of winemaking at Bodegas Cuatro Pasos, a winery named after the four paw marks of a bear discovered in their Mencía vineyards. The winery is proud to support a charity that helps to protect this near-extinct animal. Serve this charming lighter-style red cool with food or solo.

El Bombero 2023

Item Code: 0003923

Description

Legendary BIG red from sun-filled Cariñena, with velvet richness and fruit-forward flavour.

For lovers of big, smooth reds, El Bombero is a top choice. It comes from Cariñena, a hot, arid region of Spain where sun-loving grapes like Garnacha (same as Châteauneuf’s Grenache) achieve amazing ripeness. Ancient vines, hot summers and a lack of rain mean fewer grapes, which in turn means superb flavour intensity. Hence mouthfilling El Bombero. There are no fancy châteaux around Cariñena, but, as Decanter magazine notes, that doesn’t stop it from being home to some of the best-value reds in the world.

From award-winning winemaker Javier Domeque, El Bombero is packed with spicy black fruit power and a warm glow. Great on its own and a tasty choice for casseroles, full-flavoured pasta dishes, herby roast sausages and mash, and barbecues.
