Description:
The first vintage produced of this amazing wine. Great structure, violets and raspberry fruit on the nose, rich and intense blackcurrant and savoury flavours.
Intense blackcurrant fruit on the nose with vanilla overtones. Rich and concentrated black fruit on the palate. "Lovely violets and mouth-watering black fruits in this wine of luscious structure with plenty of tannins that dry on the finish." (6 x 75 cl)
A blend of Cabernet, Tempranillo and Merlot from the fastidious Guelbenzu winery. Dense and structured, smooth minty fruit with layers of blackcurrant and nicely integrated oak. (12 x 75 cl)
The Guelbenzu Azul is composed of 46% Tempranillo, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 24% Merlot. After the fermentations and maceration, the wine spent 9 months in a combination of 2, 3 and 4 year-old French oak barrels. Intense red cherry colour with a complex nose of red fruits and spices, cherries and figs. This red enters the mouth with body and maintains its strength on the palate, the wood is very well integrated through to the persistent finish. (12 x 75 cl)

A blend of Tempranillo with a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot has amazing intensity of colour and character from the 16 months oak ageing. Mocha coffee aromas give way to dark fruit flavours on the palate as the balance and complexity deliver through to the finish. (3 x 75 cl)
