Blending the peppery finesse of Cabernet Franc with the depth of Tempranillo makes this a wine full of character, where the expressive tannins of the grape are inescapable.
Wines based on Cabernet Franc are the exception in Spain but well worth seeking out. Here, blending with the fantastic black Tempranillo grape has given rise to dark cherry flavours and wonderful hints of pungent Mediterranean herbs.
Perhaps it is this gentle hint of herbs that makes this well-structured and balanced wine so suited to roasts of all kinds. This is definitely one to enjoy over a lunch you have no intention of hurrying; a good steak, leg of lamb or a hunk of roast beef.
The intense heat of the Mediterranean is the first thing you notice in this classic Rioja. A superb wine that greets you with aromas so intense you may find it hard to get your nose out of the glass. The deep reddish purple of the Tempranillo holds within it a spicy edge of cinnamon, which gives way to a meaty, soft flavour. As relaxing as the dinner you should enjoy it with.
This is a classic Rioja Reserva and one of our most popular wines. It's cherry red, meaty yet soft, and full of aromas of red fruits and vanilla, with spice, oak and cedar overtones. A very pleasant and long aftertaste. The winery covers over 100 hectares and is set around an ancient monastery were wine production can be traced back to the 16th Century. Today, it's a cooperative. One for the Sunday roast - or the midweek stew.
100% Monastrell! Body, aroma, strength, aftertaste, what more could you ask for? This wine gives you a wonderful example of all that is great about Monastrell. The dark juicy grape is such a favourite because it soaks up the long luminous summers of Yecla to make intense juicy, wines that soften beautifully with age. This is a full-bodied wine that will stay with you long after you have finished it. Complete, flawless and brilliant value for money.
This is a superbly executed Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva. The colour is a rich, medium-dark cherry, the aroma is intense, spicy and fruity and the taste is of very ripe blueberries with a creamy, oaky finish. Very long finish. Not impossible to criticise, but very, very difficult - so we won't!
Tempranillo at its best and one of our favourites. You will love this elegant classic with its dark cherry red colour, aromas of fruits with an edge of oak and spices. Very soft and tasty with superb balance between taste and acidity. Long pleasant aftertaste. Perfect with grills and roasts and not too precious to accompany you to a picnic or barbecue, where it will be the talk of the lamb kebabs.
