Claríto ("the little clear one") is roughly 50-50 Garnacha and Viura. 3,500 kg of Garnacha at 14% abv comes from 80yo bush-vines from the Briones municipality, grown in the foothills between Oullar i and Hormilla. We're in the Najerilla Valley, heading south up into the pebbly chalk/red sand foothills under Sierra de la Demanda. These foothills are the traditional home of Clarete and the field blend vineyard that we've secured was purposefully planted for Clarete.
Claríto is a collaborative project … more
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.

You'd be hard pressed to find a more charming Rioja at under $30 than this drop from Artuke. 95% Tempranillo with a splash of Viura, this wine is packed with fragrant aromas of fresh violet, pomegranate juice and blackberries. Drink as you would a light Pinot or a nouveau Beaujolais.

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.
Bodegas Barrero 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.

'The Oloroso 15 años is the youngest Oloroso produced by this house. The fact that it comes with an age statement (other than the official VOS and VORS) is quite rare in the Jerez region. [...] 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 rich nose with intense flor. Cashew and walnuts, with hints of toasted pumpkin seeds. Some ripe apple. Briney olive juice. Light rancio notes as well, even a few cheesy hints which work well here. [...] A really characterful Fino that is a great ambassador for this artisan bodega.' SherryNotes.com
