Camino de Seda 2023

Item Code: 1855023

Description

A regular Gold-medal winner (four last vintage), the 2023 Camino de Seda is smooth and brimming with big, spicy red fruit flavours. Ancient bush vines high in Jumilla produce this intensity, complemented by sweet spicy oak in this moreish red.

This is a BIG fruity red that customers adore. It comes from the little-known Jumilla region, which stretches along Spain’s eastern coast. Akin to the desert landscapes seen in Spaghetti Westerns, Jumilla is home to some of Spain’s oldest Syrah and Monastrell vines, which produce small quantities of intensely flavoured grapes. Camino de Seda, meaning ‘Silk Road’, is produced by a winery just off this historic route which brought wealth and splendour to the region over 500 years ago. It’s crafted by Scottish-born winemaker Pamela Geddes, who first gained experience in Australia, learning how to capture the freshness and fruitiness of grapes even in the hottest climates. So she’s right at home in Jumilla. A red to enjoy with hearty dishes.

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.

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.

Señorío de Sarría Vendimia Seleccionada 2017

Item Code: 3833517

Description

DW Wine Club Member Price: $122



Next door to Rioja, Navarra has always been less traditional. Its winemakers were some of the first to break rank and grow non-traditional Spanish grapes. A daring move, but one celebrated now – Navarra Cabernet continues to impress.

This mellow 2017 comes from the 65-year-old Señoria de Sarria bodega, an estate highly regarded throughout the world which lies in Puente La Reina. The fruit that went into this wine usually goes into their flagship Reserva Especial, but winemaker Milagros Rodriguez put some aside to make this exciting blend.

Powerful Cabernet Sauvignon with silky old-vine Graciano, aged two years in barrel and another four years in bottle, this is a magnificent, mellow red, packed with dark fruits and sweet spice. It needs time to open up, so decant if you can, and then serve with your finest roast lamb.

Low Stock Altos de la Guardia Crianza Rioja 2021

Altos de la Guardia Crianza Rioja 2021

Item Code: 1516121

Description

Over the last five vintages this Crianza has won Trophy for 'Best Red over £10' plus 14 Golds. It's from Haut-Brion-trained winemaker Jean-Marc Sauboua, at his super-high bodega, Altos. Silky, elegant with ripe fruit, violets and gentle spice.

Bordeaux-born Jean-Marc Sauboua has been our Trophy-winning winemaker at Bordeaux’s Château La Clarière for many years. In 2006, he decided to start a winery of his own and, with Spanish blood, decided Rioja was his destination. His aim: to make a Grand Cru of Rioja. He has no vineyards but works with the same growers he has since the start. The mature vines lie above 700 metres, the highest in Rioja, to ensure an elegant, modern style. He's won well 300 Golds since 2006, as well as Trophies for Winery of the Year, Rioja of the Year and Best Spanish Red over £10. 2021 was classed a very good vintage. High up where Altos lies, it's always cool, so ripening is slow, and wines are fresh. Aged a year in oak, this elegant red is best decanted.

Low Stock El Bombero (magnum) 2022

El Bombero (magnum) 2022

Item Code: 0022822

Description

It’s no surprise that Spain’s El Bombero is consistently a Top 10 favourite. For over 20 years, fans have been drawn to its winning combination of velvety smoothness and intense richness, thanks to very old vines. Bundles of spicy raspberry fruit.

For lovers of big, smooth reds, El Bombero is a top choice. It’s from Cariñena, a hot arid region of Spain where sun-loving grapes like Garnacha (same as Châteauneuf’s Grenache) achieve amazing ripeness. There are no fancy châteaux in this part of Spain, but that doesn’t stop this area boasting some of the world’s best-value reds. The old vines and lack of rain here means there are fewer bunches on the vines, the grapes are smaller too, which only intensifies the flavour – exemplified in El Bombero. Crafted by award-winning Javier Domeque, El Bombero brims with spicy black fruit flavours. Delicious on its own and a tasty choice for all manner of dishes, El Bombero is always impressive. Even more so when presented in this 1.5 litre magnum.
