RED Spanish Wine Case

RED SPANISH WINE CASE

We have curated two wine cases to supplement our Spanish Wine Season that celebrates this fantastic wine making country.

This case includes:

Oncedo Ribas Del Cua Bierzo
Bierzo is the North Western region where Galicia meets Castile. The red variety Mencia has always been famed for producing a lighter style of red but modern winemakers are controlling yields to increase concentration. Expect cassis fruit, a subtle nuttiness and spice, enhanced by 8 months in oak, and Mediterranean herbs: elegant and earthy.

El Escoces Volante Manga Del Brujo
Have I ever told you, "Grenache is the best grape"? At El Escoces Volante a Scottish MW, Norrel Robertson, has been working with some of the oldest Garnacha vineyards in Aragon for the last 2 decades. The Mango del Brujo is a blend of old vine Garnacha with a little Syrah and Bobal: expect earthy, dark fruit, herbacious qualities and soft, silkly tannins.

Bodegas Tobia Rioja Crianza
Tobia Cuvee is a Rioja blend of many elements: mostly Tempranillo with a little Garnacha sourced from 5 separate plots. Fermentation is delicate with a cold maceration and an element of whole-bunch, aging is in 2nd and 3rd use barrels for 12 months. The end result is a soft, velvety wine, with dried red fruit, pepper and baking spice notes.

Rippa Dorii Ribera Del Duero Crianza
Ribera del Duero is at 900 metres altitude. At this height Tinta del Pais (Tempranillo) grapes naturally produce a thicker skin, which give the wines a deeper, darker fruit and richer tannins. This Crianza sees 12 months in French and American oak (1/4 new), which softens these bold tannins and adds vanilla and sweet spice.

Finca Museum Vinea Tempranillo Crianza
Cigales is another mountainous region in Central Spain where Tempranillo has been cultivated for centuries. This comes from low yielding, 50 year old bush vines grown at 750m altitude. 14 months in a combination of American and French oak make for a deliciously complex red: berry fruited with mocha and balsamic notes, rich and velvety on the palate.

Juan Gil Monastrell 4 Meses
Monastrell is the Valencian name for Mourverdre, the red grape widely planted throughout Southern France and Catalunya. It revels in the maritime climate of Jumilla. From old bush vines at 700m altitude, this wine is stainless steel fermented with 4 months in oak to enhance the fruit: plum and blackcurrant with a little vanilla and spice, ripe and juicy.

These cases have been carefully curated and already discounted, and therefore do not qualify for any additional loyalty discount.
