Montecillo Rioja Gran Reserva Seleccion Especial
Description: The famous old Rioja house, named after the small hill outside Fuenmayor, received a new lease of life when it was bought in 1973 by the Osborne Group. Vast investments in a new winery and new storage have been made. The intention was, and remains, the production of the highest quality Rioja combining the best of modern and traditional practices. Montecillo Blanco is fresh and fruity in the modern style and made entirely from Viura. All of Montecillo's red wines are made only with Tempranillo. In particularly favourable years a special selection of Tempranillo is made for vinification, prolonged ageing and eventual release as Gran Reserva Especial. These wines do not leave the bodega, where they are kept in perfect conditions, until they are considered to be at peak maturity. Exceptional wine produced from another classic vintage (6 x 75 cl)

Mondavi/Rothschild OPUS ONE Napa Valley California
Description: A great deal of care and expertise is required to produce this wine which is a collaboration between Robert Mondavi and the Chateau Mouton Rothschild families. The brainchild of two leading lights of the wine world, Robert Mondavi and Philippe de Rothschild, Opus One is a Napa Valley based joint venture with a commitment to quality and perfection. Its magnificent location, opulent winery and state-of-the-art technology is grape nirvana. The grapes are hand sorted and it is only gravity that is used to move the berries from the destemmer into the stainless steel fermenting tank. As Opus One only makes 1 wine each tank is used only once during harvest so that fermentation and maceration do not need to be rushed. The tank draws out a myriad of rich flavours and colours from the grape skin, seed and pulp. The tanks are then raised so the free-run wine can flow into new French Oak Barrels, while the residue that provides the backbone to this wine is also barrel aged. Once ready Fining takes place that clarifies and polishes the wine. The 1997 vintage is a blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, 5% Merlot, 4% Malbec and 1% Petit Verdot. During the growing season abundent sunlight in the previous vintage produced high fertility in the vine buds and a large crop was thinned to the lowest per acre yield in a decade. As a result of this the harvest was very compact lasting just 11 days and produced wines of vigor with finesse. A complex, vigorous, fresh tasting wine showing currant, anise, black cherry, mineral, leather and sage flavors with delicate liquorice flavours and scents. Sweet and powerful, this is an easy drinking wine with subtle tannins and a marvellous finish. (6 x 75 cl)
