In the glass Intensely aromatic with ripe raspberries alongside floral and liquorice notes. The palate is full, soft and chock full of red berry fruit spiced up by touches of anis, vanilla, and toast from light oak aging. The finish shows soft, sweet tannins and fresh, lively acidity. 13.6% Bonarda is an old Italian grape with its family home in Piedmont, which like so many of its compatriots upped sticks in the early twentieth century and headed for the New World. One of the most planted grapes in its adopted home, it seems to thrive in the pale blue and white stripes of Argentina, producing ripe, characterful wines that seem to keep a subtle suggestion of an Italian accent. A bit about Alamos The Alamos wines are made high up in the Andes by the team at Catena Zapata. Nicolas Catena was the third generation of his family to make wine in Mendoza but the first to see the potential in planting higher and higher vineyards in search of cool climate sites ideal for the production of fine wine. Today, he works with his daughter Laura in their relentless pursuit of the finest possible quality wines from their unique vineyards. (12 x 75 cl)

Marques de Riscal RISCAL 1860 Tempranillo Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y Leon
Description: Marques de Riscal, pioneer in the production of top quality wines in Rioja and Rueda has set out on a new venture to make a highly expressive red wine outside the Rioja D.O. As a result this wine has been created taking advantage of total liberty in the vinification process but using only the grapes from the most select plots of Tempranillo. The Tempranillo variety produces highly aromatic wines with a full body and colour that are well structured, fresh and intense. Here, great care is taken from the vineyard to the winery as only ripe Tempranillo grapes which have received plenty of sunshine are accepted. Collected in boxes with a maximum capacity of 18 kilos so as to avoid the berries getting broken or crushed, attention to detail is very important and after 6 months ageing in American Oak this rich cherry-red coloured wine is ready to drink. Displaying high aromatic intensity, with aromas of ripe, black fruit and fine smoky nuances there is also underlying toast. In the mouth, it is warm, meaty, powerful with a presence of smooth tannins. It has moderate acidity, with a long, pleasant finish in which the perception of oak is more defined. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £59.22
