360° Series Carmenere 2020

Item Code: 4389320

Description

The Abruzzo region is renowned for its natural beauty, a region where the sea and mountains collide and made famous by the wines made from Montepulciano.

A great example of Montepulciano is the Caroso Montepulciano Riserva 2018. This supple and easy drinking style is made even more impressive by releasing it as a Riserva. As a Riserva, it must be aged for a minimum of two years – of which six months have to be in barrel. This has had much longer – two years in oak – with extended bottle ageing too. Crafted from 100% Montepulciano, hand-picked from vines between 20-40 years old, this complex red is rich with deep cherry and plum fruit, and imbued with a silky complexity. It would pair well with hard cheeses as well as mushroom dishes, particularly truffle.

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 Altos de la Guardia Reserva Rioja 2019

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 Altos de la Guardia Selección de Familia Rioja 2014

Altos de la Guardia Selección de Familia Rioja 2014

Item Code: 4375914

Description

This glorious Rioja was destined for Reserva quality, aged a year in barrel and then bottled. But upon tasting, winemaker Jean-Marc Sauboua decided it could be tucked away a little longer.

It ended up being considerably longer than intended, but all's well that ends well, because 10 years later it's proved to be absolutely stunning – a silky, velvety luxury wine. A great choice with lamb.

Altos R Pigeage Graciano 2018

Item Code: 3711118

Description

15 Golds and 94 Suckling Points for the latest Altos Pigeage from Jean-Marc’s superb Rioja estate.



Our Haut-Brion-trained winemaker, Jean-Marc Sauboua, founded Altos in 2006 and, all together, has won over 180 Golds, Trophies, plus many high scores.

He works with the young Amaia Amestoy and Hector Gomez in the cellar, whose CVs includes experience at Napa’s Château Montelena, Contino and Murrieta in Rioja and Villacreces in Ribera del Duero.

They made 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.
