Low Stock Mirlo Merlot 2022

Mirlo Merlot 2022

Item Code: 4372822

Description

For an easy-sipping, juicy, supple red, check out this delicious new-release Mirlo Merlot. It's from Cariñena, neighbour to Rioja, in northeast Spain. Picked at peak of ripeness, it's bursting with silky ripe cherry and summer berry fruit.

One of the oldest wine regions of Spain, Cariñena lies just southeast of Rioja, a land of ancient low-yield vines. Most of its vineyards nurture native variety Garnacha, but this red shows its winemakers can excel equally well with international stars, including Merlot. This grape ripens to perfection in the arid rocky soils and hot sunshine. So well, in fact, the local blackbirds (mirlo in Spanish) love to swoop down and pick off the ripest, juiciest berries. So growers must be on the alert to harvest their fruit just at the right time, and before their competitors! Mirlo Merlot is a smooth, full-of-fruit red for easy sipping. Served at a cool room temperature, it's a great party wine, and tasty with chicken, veggie kebabs or frittata.

Low Stock El Bombero Gran Reserva 2017

El Bombero Gran Reserva 2017

Item Code: 2177517

Description

From award-winning winemaker Javier Domeque, El Bombero Gran Reserva is a premium edition of an old favourite. From Cariñena, synonymous with rich, dark reds and great value, this mellow 2016 Gran Reserva was aged a full three years in oak.

Big Red El Bombero has been a top choice with customers for over 20 years. And in special vintages, winemaker Javier Domeque crafts a sophisticated Gran Reserva version using the pick of the crop from his oldest vines. To qualify for Gran Reserva status, the wine is aged in oak for three years with further time in bottle prior to release. It’s made mostly from Garnacha, an important component of many full-bodied Spanish reds (and also of Châteauneuf-du-Pape), with a generous portion of juicy Tempranillo for added flavour. It's a touch more refined than El Bombero itself, but still full of rich berry flavour and with delicious spicy complexity from American oak. Drinking perfectly right now with roast lamb, game or a selection of tapas.

La Cantera Reserva 2019

Item Code: 0825719

Description

La Cantera is so reassuringly smooth and welcoming that each new vintage release is like the return of an old friend. Well, it is made by one of our greatest friends in Spain, Javier Domeque.

He’s been making this gloriously mature treasure exclusively for us for nearly 20 years, and only ever ships La Cantera when it’s been aged to smooth, mellow perfection. Javier works under the radar in Cariñena, where wine has been made for 2,000 years. But the region is overlooked in favour of world famous neighbour Rioja, so you enjoy superb value for money here (and, in the case of La Cantera, Rioja style quality). This is made from old vine Garnacha and Tempranillo and has rich, deep red berry flavours softened by years in barrel and bottle.

Low Stock Viña Bujanda Graciano Rioja 2014

Viña Bujanda Graciano Rioja 2014

Item Code: 4395414

Description

Delectable and intriguing in many ways, this Rioja is rare. It's made from pure Graciano, aged gently for a year in French oak barrels. This is a sublime red from a 5-star family estate, with red berry, plum, tea and creamy spice notes.

Carlos and Pilar Martínez Bujanda are 4th-generation winemakers who blaze a trail. Their great grandfather founded a cellar in 1889, which the siblings reimagined in 1984 with a state-of-the-art cellar, one of Spain's finest. That sealed their worldwide reputation for quality. Since then, Carlos and Pilar have founded the very beautiful Finca Valpiedra estate in the Alavesa and their most recent project, Viña Bujanda, in Oyón, where their great grandfather started the family's journey. This is fabulous red, made purely from Graciano, a variety that once was Rioja's chief grape, yet today makes up just 1%, but increasing. No surprise when you taste the sublime quality of this wine. Aged a year in French oak casks, it has matured beautifully.

Altos R Pigeage Tempranillo Rioja 2019

Item Code: 3379119

Description

The flagship cuvée of Altos has won over 180 Golds and numerous top scores since 2006, the 2019 gaining 94 Suckling points, plus 7 Golds and 97pts. Using old-vine Tempranillo and Graciano aged in new French oak, it’s a serious, Grand Cru style Rioja.

Our Haut-Brion-trained winemaker, Jean-Marc Sauboua, founded Altos in 2006 and, all together, has won over 300 Golds, Trophies, plus many high scores. He leaves Amaia Amestoy in charge of the cellar when he's not there, whose CV includes experience at Murrieta in Rioja and Villacreces in Ribera del Duero. They make this wine from old-vine (80+ years) Tempranillo and Graciano, vinifying it using Burgundy’s pigeage method. This involves fermenting in open vats and plunging the skins into the liquid three times a day – hands-on winemaking that delivers great results. Aged for two years in half new French oak and bottled unfiltered, the wine offers seams of intense black fruit with spice-box complexity.
