Low Stock Altos R Pigeage Blanco Rioja 2021

Altos R Pigeage Blanco Rioja 2021

Item Code: 2982121

Description

With three Golds and 96 points, this is a stellar white Rioja. It’s the flagship of Altos, a cellar founded in 2006 by Jean-Marc Sauboua, already with 260 Golds. Old-vine Viura and Chardonnay, fermented in barrel, it's intense, citrusy and toasty.

Haut-Brion trained Jean-Marc Sauboua was born and raised in Bordeaux, but is also half Spanish. For many years he’s made wine for us all over the world, Bordeaux in particular, but when he decided to start a project of his own, Rioja was his only thought. And only the very highest parts of the appellation. Right from the start Jean-Marc’s aim was to make a Grand Cru style of Rioja, wines full of fruit with balanced oak. Pigeage (pron. pea jarge), two reds and one white, are his flagship wines and in just 11 vintages have won over 150 Golds. Old-vine Viura and high-grown Chardonnay, fermented in French oak, this is intensely citrusy with toasty oak and mineral zip. The finest release yet thanks to a cool vintage. A superb dinner party white.

The Dip 2022

Item Code: 4159122

Description

Sip with caution and be wary of The Dip, the blood-thirsty demon dog of Catalan legends. Drooling with juicy, plum-rich flavours and savagely smooth spices, once tasted there’s no turning back. It’s best enjoyed with fleshy meats, never on your own!

Bodegas Fernando Castro Raíces Gran Reserva 2017

Item Code: 4307217

Description

Valdepeñas in central Spain has long been renowned for the quality of its fine, long-aged, traditional reds. Even then, Raices 2017 is a stand out – a Gran Reserva Tempranillo aged 18 months in French and American oak barrels, now deliciously mellow.

For five generations, the Castro family have been making exceptional red wines in the heart of Valdepeñas, central Spain. Their extensive vineyards lie at altitudes in excess of 700 metres, planted on poor, infertile soils and blessed with plenty of sunshine (2,500 hours a year). All ideal conditions for the production of great wine, with good colour and intensity. They pride themselves on their traditional methods, using here all Tempranillo, hand-harvested, fermented slowly, then aged at least 18 months in French and American oak barrels. The former lends subtle spice notes, while the latter offers more obvious coconut flavours. With 7 years age, it shows mellow red fruits, spice and oaky complexity. Great with tapas or grilled meats.

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 Fuente de Irache Crianza Navarra 2019

Fuente de Irache Crianza Navarra 2019

Item Code: 4181419

Description

From Navarra vineyards predating the Crusades, on Rioja's border, this is a fabulous, silky, oak-aged red.

It's made at an ancient monastery-turned-winery on the famous Camino de Santiago - the pilgrim's way. Dark, smoky berry with toasty oak.

Right in the shadow of neighbouring Rioja, Navarra is a much neglected region. But for those in the know, it "produces wines in many cases that are superior to its more famous neighbour" (The Times). This cracking Crianza is from the Irache monastery, founded centuries back by the King of Spain as a hospital to tend pilgrims on the dusty Camino de Santiago trail.

The monks today have gone and instead, behind the thick walls, is an impressive winery. There, pilgrims are still revived the ancient way with a scallop shell of wine from the famous fountain. They don't, however, get the good stuff - the Fuente de Irache Crianza. That is prized by the locals and has to be purchased! And, just for the first time, it's escaped the borders of Spain.
