Brunos is a positive explosion of fresh aromas and dark red fruits. Intense, bright and lively in colour, it's the result of a stunning mix of Carignan, Grenache and Syrah from vines between 30 and 50 years old. The mix doesn't stop with the choice of grapes. The vines themselves are chosen from different estates at different heights. In the wrong hands, this could be a mongrel of a wine. But Brunos is fresh to the palate, spicy with a well-balanced oak end - a pleasing elegant wine, full of body with a superior ripe berry taste. If you enjoy oaky wines, there's no mix up - this is one not to be missed!
A perfect young Tempranillo with an interesting touch of Moristel and Cabernet Sauvignon. This lovely wine hails from the Somontano region, which as the name suggests, lies at the foot of the Pyrenees. If you like strong aromas of red fruits and wild flowers this is a wine for you, a superior Tempranillo that pleases the most demanding palate. Along with the strong personality and good fruity aroma, there's an edge of cinnamon and leather. The sort of wine you really miss when the last bottle gets drunk at a dinner party with friends!
This is a Single Estate wine (La Figuera) produced in Montsant - lauded as the new Priorat - from hand-picked Grenache, Syrah and Merlot grapes. Montsant forms a ring around the remote Priorat region, home to some of Spain's classiest (and most expensive) reds and it can only be a matter of time before some of its wines start to price themselves out of reach of us mere mortals!
The blend of 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 20% Merlot is aged in French oak for 15 months creating an elegant taste of ripe red fruits with an oak finish and a spicy edge. Ardea's hearty character is a natural partner to rich, gamey foods like venison and goose liver. And bear in mind, with only 8,500 bottles produced, you'll not be bumping into this wine at your average dinner party.
