- Full-bodied, ripe style with bright lively fruit flavours and well-knit tannins giving structure.
- Made by Marques de Murrieta, one of the most highly respected bodegas in Rioja Alta, established in 1852.
- This is a Rioja Reserva, meaning it must be aged for at least one year in oak and two in bottle before release.
- Lovely to drink from release but equally capable of ageing for many years.
- Serve with red meats or bellotta ham.

Marques de Murrieta
- £75
The Dalmau comes from centuries-old vnieyards in the middle of the Ygay Estate in Rioja Alta. The vines are limited to a small production (less than one kilo per plant) resulting in incredible concentration. The wine shows an expressive nose of blackcurrant, chocolate, black pepper, forest floor and a hint of balsamics. A bold fruit-forward palate, with fresh acidity and silky tannins gives the wine structure, complexity and depth.
Bodega Lanzaga

- Buy 12+ £13.50
A lighter style Rioja with no oak ageing. ripe plums and orange blossom, the tannins are fine and there is a long fruit driven finish. The lack of oak means that the grape dominates the wine with a purity of fruit. Lanzaga is the second vineyard site of established Spanish winemakers Remelluri. The site cooler in temperature than most of Rioja and the rest is a fresher, light and more lively Rioja furthered by the distinct lack of oak ageing.
Bodegas Las Orcas
