This award-winning wine reflects a perfect blending of old and young, with Grenache grapes (50%) from vines over 60 years old, together with Tempranillo (30%), Cabernet- Sauvignon (10%) and Merlot (10%), all from younger vines. Add in three months in new American oak barrels and the result is a very interesting wine with a subtle oaky edge and a smooth, velvety feel on the palate, and just a touch of acidity. The colour is cherry red, with violet notes due to its youth. There are fresh, ripe red fruits on the nose, with notes of cinnamon, vanilla and delicate hints of flowers. Great stuff - and good value too.
Made of grapes from selected old vines, this fantastic wine is a superior blend of Syrah, Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Tempranillo. Matured for 7 months in French oak, the wine gains a dark cherry colour with an intense aroma of forest fruits and a long aftertaste. Perfect for game and other strong meats.
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.
