Why you'll love it
A powerful, oak‑aged Tempranillo from old‑vine Cigales (70–100 years), scoring ~90 pts.
Deep cherry and blackberry with liquorice, sage and subtle spice. Velvety tannins and a long finish with toasted hazelnut and mineral notes.
Pairs brilliantly with grilled or braised meats, game, charcuterie or mature cheese.
Best known in Rioja, Ribera del Duero
Spain's great red grape. Cherry, plum, tobacco and leather, with smooth tannins, and oak ageing adds vanilla and spice. It is the heart of Rioja and Ribera del Duero, and in Portugal's Douro the same grape is called Tinta Roriz.
Spain
A small region in Castilla y León, just north of Valladolid and not far from Ribera del Duero. Traditionally known for rosado, it now makes fine Tempranillo reds too: ripe, dark-fruited and well structured at sensible prices. A quiet corner of Spain that rewards the curious.
