"Ripe, modern and immensely approachable, this charming Tempranillo shows dark plum, blueberry compote, floral and mixed spice aromas on the nose, leading to a succulent palate that is beautifully rounded and supple. It is silky and flavoursome with a long comforting finish. At its best: now to 2022" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Feb 2019

"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

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 nine vintages, this label is one of the most consistent, great value wines on the market.

Sourced from 25-40 year old vines grown in La Mancha and Valdepenas. A red wine selected by local importer and Master of Wine Steve Bennett to introduce Kiwi wine drinkers to the delights of Spanish wine and Spain’s signature grape variety Tempranillo.
