Produced from old vine Grenache and Carignan, Imus is a soft, easy and juicy red wine, offering the best of the Montsant area. Attractive cherry red colour, medium bodied with great purity of fruit. Mature red fruits with a slight hint of liquorice. Although modest in price, it certainly doesn't hide its quality and taste. In fact, this could easily be the everyday Spanish red that you've been looking for!
Tempranillo means 'early ripener' in Spanish and you'd have to get up very early indeed to find one that's better value than this. It may be young, but it has the heart and soul of classic Rioja, with its ruby red colour, ripe berry flavours and good finish. Its sheer drinkability makes it perfect for an informal roast lamb Sunday lunch or for sharing with friends on a summer's evening outdoors.
Grenache is deservedly the favoured grape for making stunning roses and this is a perfect example of the art. A rose from Rioja, this is irresistibly drinkable - dry and crisp with refreshing aromas of raspberry and strawberry. Slightly chilled it is unbeatable and so easy to enjoy with friends, over dinner or at a summer BBQ. And exceptional value for money. If you feel in the pink, don't buy one, buy a dozen.
A lovely rose that will please the most demanding wine expert, this Jane Ventura is made from a winning combination of Tempranillo topped up with Carignan. The colour is deep raspberry and the aromas are of raspberry and red berries generally. It's soft and yet has a strong rose personality. Good aftertaste.
A very tasty rose - one of the top numbers from this wine maker. Lots of raspberry and strawberry aromas, strong yet not overpowering, and lots of sweet fruit taste, but dry at the palate. Long aftertaste. Good balance between taste and acidity. Try it as you balance a paella, pasta, risotto or lightly grilled chicken on your knee next to the barbecue. Very, very enjoyable.
This interesting young wine is a happy marriage of Monastrell with Syrah and Merlot. Lorenzo Gil, from Bodegas Luzon has a high opinion of Monastrell, saying that it 'means the same to Jumilla as Tempranillo does to Rioja. It's the character of the region'. We think he has a point. The wine has an intense cherry colour and powerful aromas of ripe red and black fruits. The taste is strong but, thanks to the influence of Merlot, still nice and fresh. An irresistible red to serve with a good meaty stew and especially good to keep at your elbow when there's a proper wood smoke barbecue in the offing.
