Darkly spiced, meaty and featuring root vegies, and their ashy-earth. Dark-fruited and leather-edged, with a deep, pure earthiness, nutty tannin, and a delightfully controlled rusticity. Joyous Priorat Garnacha tell-tales of orange juice and ruby grapefruit perkiness are there too, with the cheeriest aftertaste. Garnacha Samsó.

l'Ermita is one of the Icon wines of Spain. From the hills of Priorat, this shows the region style perfectly - rich and powerful but with the structure and underlying minerality to balance it all out. While the ines look great young, they certainly benefit from time in the bottle.
A brilliant wine which is produced in Montilla-Moriles and is 100% Pedro Ximinez fruit and made in exactly the same way as the Sherry from Jerez.
This is not a 1927 vintage PX, rather the 1927 refers to when the Solera this PX is drawn from was created.

Region: Montilla Moriles
This estate wine is a blend of varieties dominated by Hondarrabi Zuri (70%) with equal parts of Izkiriota, Izkiriota Ttippia and Hondarrabi Zuri Zerratia. The parcels are hand-picked separately and left to cold soak for 24 hours at 10 degrees. This increases both volume and aromatic complexity in the final wine. The wines ferment spontaneously with vineyard yeasts and spend four months on lees in stainless steel before bottling.
Instant Txakoli on the nose! Grapefruit, green apple, lovage, celery leaf, … more

Fermented in stainless steel and concrete and aged in in 225-litre and 500-litre French oak (which sits discreetly in the background), there's an explosion on the nose of Satsuma plum, dark, sour cherries, blackberry leaf, salted liquorice, thyme, and crushed rock. Concentrated without being remotely heavy, this has a Pomerol-like texture together with tannins that are just about perfect - firm and long, but super-velvety. It finishes refreshing and long with an intriguingly bitter, dark chocolate finish. Again, it's hard … more

This outstanding biodynamic estate is from the hills of San Martín de Valdeiglesias, above Madrid. The wines were recommended to the importer by José Luis Mateo (Muradella) who delivered the killer line. "Of all the producers around Madrid, Marc Isart Pinos [winemaker at Bernabeleva] is the best. His wines have the most finesse and class."
High praise indeed!
Good Value "state wine from this 97-year-old bodega (with interruptions). Aged in 500-litre old casks. Rich and gamey on the palate. More … more

A stand out example of pure Tempranillo organically grown in Spain's Rioja.
Soft and mineral, a delicious mix of red and dark fruit. Open and expressive, with nutty tannins and a lick of spicy acidity, it's clearly Rioja and perfectly varietal Tempranillo. Matured in tank so the wines stays fresh and vibrant and allows the the fruit characters to fully shine through.
Sanchez Ayala are an undiscovered treat here in Australia. Much used by the Navazos project, this bodega makes some wonderful Sherries, of which this is a terrific starting point.
This is superb value.
Classic flor notes dominate the aromatics, but don't overpower the wine - there are still nuances of fresh bread, almond and saline notes. The palate is quite delicate but wonderfully fresh with excellent racy, salty flor-driven Manzanilla character.

Dry, nutty start. Hazelnuts, brazil nuts. Umami notes of beef stock and dried mushrooms. On the other end of this earthy, darker side there is a brightness of bitter oranges and fresh figs. A bit of toffee and echoes of spices (not unlike gingerbread, really nice).
On the palate it is medium-bodied, with a surprising lightness and ease to it. Good balance of acidity, a suggestion of caramel sweetness, lightly bitter notes (dried herbs, Seville oranges) and a soft, gingery … more
