What’s in it?

Francesc Ricart, Cava Brut NV, 11.5% Catalunya

One of our favourite sparkling wines, this cava has a brilliant balance of aromatic peach and citrus fruit with the delicate honey and rich toasty depth that gives it a moreish drinkability. Great as a gift, to toast any celebration or maybe pair with a slice of Spanish tortilla.

Granbazan, Etiqueta Ambar Albarino, 12.5% Rias Baixas

We love Albario, and this is a superb example from the grape’s heartland of Rias Baixas in north-west Spain. It captures the pure, concentrated fruit and lip-smacking freshness that makes this grape so appealing. I’d enjoy it with a plate garlicky langoustines.

Bodegas Palacio, Glorioso Blanco,12%Rioja

A bright and refreshing white Rioja, Glorioso Blanco is a beautifully balanced wine with layers of fresh citrus, crisp apple, and white flowers. Theres a touch of ripe stone fruit and a delicate pastry-like richness, thanks to time spent on the lees. Smooth and rounded, it finishes with a zesty lift, making it a joy to drink.

Can’ Leandro, L’Arenal, 13.5%, Valencia

Can Leandro LArenal is a bold, expressive red made from 100% Monastrell grapes grown in a single plot vineyard in Valencia. It greets you with enchanting aromas of violets, ripe black fruits, and a whisper of smoky spice. On the palate, its rich and savoury, with a perfect balance of fruit and spice that lingers beautifully on the finish.

Bodegas Palacio, Glorioso Reserva, 14% Rioja

This delicious Rioja Reserva was a big customer favourite at our inaugural focus group tasting. It is easy to see why with generous fruit and well-balanced oak giving complexity and a silky texture.I’d enjoy this simply with somegrilled lamb chops.

El Escoces Volante, Manga del Brujo Tinto, 14.5% Calatayud

This medium-bodied Spanish red comes from the rugged hills of Calatayud in Aragn, crafted by Master of Wine Norrel Robertson – also known as El Escocs Volante (The Flying Scotsman). Loads of ripe black fruit, warming spice, and a touch of herbal lift. Generous and velvety, with soft tannins and a long, satisfying finish.
