Méntrida Albillo Réal 2019
Bodegas Arrayán
- £24
In stock
Reviving Spain's nearly forgotten Albillo Real grape, this wine stands as a testimony to Bodegas Arrayán's dedication to resurrecting nearly forgotten grape varieties. Handpicked from two Almorox vineyards, a region sheltered within the Sierra de Gredos, the grapes are cold-macerated, oak-fermented, and aged for 10 months, resulting in a velvety, vibrant mix of pear, quince, lime, white flowers, rockrose, oregano, fennel, and minerals. Praised with a 90-point score by the Wine Advocate for its ripeness, aroma, and balanced acidity, it's a perfect pair for aperitifs, white fish, rice dishes, and cheese.

CVNE
37.5cl half-bottle
- £16
In a convenient half-bottle size, the CVNE Imperial Reserva 2017 from Rioja sets a high bar. This Rioja, primarily tempranillo with touches of garnacha and graciano, comes from 40-year-old vines in Rioja Alta. The meticulous effort shows: think inviting aromas of pencil shavings and vanilla, backed by intense dark fruits and smooth tannins. Perfectly drinkable on its own, but if paired with lamb ragu? Simply delicious.
