"Youthfully charming and perfumed, the bouquet shows Black Doris plum, blueberry compote, floral and gentle spice notes on the nose, followed by a beautifully rounded palate that's juicy and lingering. It's upfront and fruit expressive with silky mouthfeel, making it instantly appealing. At its best: now to 2023" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2020

"Every year, this is one of the greatest bargains on the shelf, a simple, upfront but generous red at a stunning price" Paul Tudor, Master of Wine

Sourced from 25-40 year old vines grown in La Mancha and Valdepenas made by 5th generation wine producers Navarro Lopez in liaison with local wine importer and Master of Wine Steve Bennett. A wine designed to introduce Kiwi wine drinkers to the delights of Spanish wine and Spain’s signature grape variety Tempranillo. A full-flavoured, soft, supple, vibrant, plummy red with refreshing acidity and rich but smooth tannins to partner a wide variety of savoury cuisine. With a host of accolades over the past 10 vintages, this label is one of the most consistent, great value wines on the market.
