New from Spain ~ May 2009

Azcúnaga, Crianza 2005, Los Arcos, Navarra ~ £7.99

Tempranillo 85%, Cabernet Sauvignon 10% and 5% Merlot, the wine has spent 14 months in oak and shows a massive amount of complexity for a wine at this price.

Aga, Blanco Seco 2008, Navarra ~ £6.99

A blend of Moscatel and Chardonnay offering a light fruity, easy drinking wine, with lovely rosehip hinds on the nose and a lucious rounded palate.

Señorío de Berenice, Crianza 2005, Ribera Del Duero ~ £9.99

This is an amazing wine for the money, big rich ripe fruit, multi layered wiht balanced oak and a long finish.

Coto Elosegi, Tempranillo, Tierra de Castilla ~ £5.99

A really easy drinking wine from the heart of Spain. Great on it’s own or believe it or not, the perfect base wine for a refreshing sangria.

Palaciego, Reserva 2001, Solar de Ayala, Rioja ~ £9.99

A brilliantly crafted Rioja with a hint of graciano to give it a soft silky finish. Mark was involved in the final blending of this wine all those years ago!!!

Casaverde 2008, Sauvignon, Rueda ~ £6.99

Tastes better than I remember it, whilst in Spain, beautifully balanced, floral on the nose and crisp, clean citrus taste.

Mont Michel, Cava Brut, Sant Sadurní D’anoia ~ £8.99

Classic Cava, great quality and ideal for an everyday glass of fizz to cheer you up!
