Matured for only 3 to 4 months in oak, this wine has an attractive red colour with violet hues and aromas of intense ripe fruit such as cherries, blackberries, blueberries, and fresh plums, combined with spicy and floral hints. On the palate, the intense and concentrated fruits are coated by smooth tannins making each sip more tantalising. Gualtallary is famed for its distinctive and complex wines; the high altitude allows the grapes to ripen slowly to develop intense flavours while retaining fresh acidity and producing a lighter more elegant style Malbec. Elegant, complex and long lasting!

The signature Piqueras Black Label is produced in the region of Almansa, located on high slopes in southeast Spain. Dry and calcareous soil, scarce rain and long periods of sunshine produce grapes with high concentration, deep colour and full of rich aromas. This rich red is made from 50% Monastrell and 50% Syrah and aged for 4-6 months in 300 litre fine grain oak barrels. Medium-bodied on the palate with flavours of ripe red cherries, raspberries, crushed boysenberries, red plums and a touch of vanilla spice on the nose. Lively and elegant with a silky finish. Enjoy on its own or with grilled, roasted or fried dishes, barbecues, charcuterie and richer cheeses.

This exciting red from Lisboa is a single varietal Bastardo (Trousseau from the Jura), which gives a light and fresh style of red, which can be chilled. The grapes are handpicked, then fermented spontaneously in concrete, with light pump overs for a gentle extraction and maturation for a year to soften. A delicious vibrant red, with charming currant, cherry and floral aromatics. The palate is elegant, with smooth tannins and a well balanced acidity.

Perfect with white meats, salmon, grilled prawns and Mediterranean dishes.

With some bottle ageing, this 2018 packs a punch. Nerello Mascalese is Sicily’s star variety and usually grown around the foot of Mount Etna. These mineral-rich volcanic soils help the vines produce grapes that are rich in both complex minerals and a fine acidity. This exciting red has smoky minerality with rich red cherry fruit and a nimble body that dances along the palate.
