Description Rioja is “Spain’s most famous, most important wine” (Hugh Johnson / Jancis Robinson MW) and, as Wine Spectator says, "Few regions offer higher quality and better value than Rioja”. Today, enjoy a terrific dozen of this much-loved, famous Spanish star from top estates including beauties from famous Martínez Bujanda estate, Jean Marc Sauboua’s legendary Altos, and the centuries-old Chavarri family estate – plus the bestselling Barón de Barbón from Javier Murua (whose father Julián owns the famous Bodegas Muriel). Time for some tapas? Most definitely!
Hand harvested to select only the ripest Tempranillo grapes from the old vines, this wine is complex and elegant with layers of luscious red berries, freshness and velvety smooth tannins.
Innovative, cutting-edge masters of their art, the Bujanda family don’t compromise on quality; it shows in their huge haul of awards. This is their fine Reserva - two years in cask, the rest in bottle, it brings together intense fruit and toasty oak.
This has been our bestselling Rioja for decades. It’s hallmark silky, toasty flavours are a hit with any Rioja fan. And at such a modest price for old-vine Tempranillo from the superior Alavesa region, its popularity is understandable at every level.
Over the last four vintages this Crianza has won Trophy for 'Best Red over £10' plus ten Golds. It's from Haut-Brion-trained winemaker Jean-Marc Sauboua, at his high Altos bodega, unfined and unfiltered to maximise the dense fruit and richness.
