Marques de Riscal RESERVA Rioja
Description: It was Don Camilo Hurtado de AmÉzaga, MarquÉs de Riscal de Alegre, who in 1860, through his revolutionary ideas, put his mark on the historical Spanish wine map. His innovative methods imported from Bordeaux, much criticised at that time, brought a new way of understanding and elaborating our best wines. Following in the innovative wake of the Bordeaux wines, MarquÉs de Riscal built the first Spanish cellar of the Modern Age. Located in the heart of Rioja, its construction was overseen by the prestigious engineer, Ricardo Bellsolá. More than 200 stonemasons were employed on the construction. Its two-metre thick walls allowed for the maintenance of a constant temperature of 14º. Wines, for the first time in Spain, were elaborated with Merlot, Malbec, Pinot Noir and other varieties. These new incorporations did not substitute the indigenous varieties such as Tempranillo, Mazuelo and Graciano, rather the masterful combination of both origins gave rise to the unique accent of the Riscal wines. For the selection of its grapes Riscal has over 200 regular suppliers, going back four generations from father to son. By general consensus, an agricultural plan has been established, thanks to which growers are advised on each and every aspect so that the final product complies fully with the desired parameters for maximum quality. Deep in colour, a subtle fragrance of cinnamon with very ripe fruit and soft tannin. (1 x 3 Litres)

Complex aromas of toasty oak, caramel and vanilla follow through to the mouth-filling black fruit on the palate, balanced by firm, ripe tannins. Like the 1994, this wine spent 26 months in American oak before release and will continue to develop subtler, more complex aspects in bottle. (6 x 75 cl)

Marques de Riscal GRAN RESERVA Rioja
Description: It was Don Camilo Hurtado de Amezaga, Marques de Riscal de Alegre, who in 1860, through his revolutionary ideas, put his mark on the historical Spanish wine map.

By general consensus, an agricultural plan has been established, thanks to which growers are advised on each and every aspect so that the final product complies fully with the desired parameters for maximum quality. A predominantly dry year with the driest and hottest summer for over 40 years. There was little in the way of spring frost while the very mild temperatures in March resulted in an early bud break, almost a month earlier than usual. The harvest was early and produced grapes of exceptional quality. One of the best vintages for decades and officially classed by the Consejor Regulador as excellent. Despite 29 months maturation in American casks the wine retains a youthful colour on the rim, with a deeply concentrated centre. The aroma is fresh and lively showing a combination of toasted oak and dried fruits. On the palate the wine is rich and powerful. Though approachable now, the good acidity and firm tannins suggest a wine capable of long ageing. (6 x 75 cl)

Botalcura EL DELIRIO Reserva Syrah Malbec Chile
Description: Vina Botalcura is the result of the passion of two men. Chilean partner, Juan Fernando Waidele, was seduced by the charm of the town of Botalcura and its environs, and this is where the idea to build a winery started. Juan Fernando then met enologist Philippe Debrus, who had a strong desire to return to a hands-on approach to winemaking, a style he learned in his native France when he was young. The winery is named after the town it is based in, Botalcura, near Talca, about 3 hours south of Santiago, in the coastal mountain range that forms the Maule Valley. Additionally, the word Botalcura means Large Stone in Mapundungun, the language of the Mapuche people of southern Chile. The gapes, sourced in Maule and the Central Valley, are hand-picked into half-ton bins and undergo cluster selection on the vine, with leaf removal. Here great care is taken and illustrated in the harvest taking place only in the morning hours to keep the fruit cool. Finally 30% of the wine spent six months in one and two year old oak barrels before release. This wine showcases the synergy between these two great varieties. The Syrah lends grip and structure, while the Malbec provides color, aromatic complexity, and voluptuous body. The result is a remarkably intense, fruity, and voluminous wine, while it has been barrel aged to complement the grape flavours. This blend of Syrah 65% and Malbec 35% is a medium-deep ruby red colour, with dark red cherry highlights. Displaying attractive aromas of ripe blackberry and black cherry, with notes of violets, oak, black pepper, nutmeg and vanilla the broad palate leads to a round, mouth-filling middle, with good soft tannins. Very elegant, with approachable balance, nice alcohol and acid balance. (12 x 75 cl)
