Sensational Albarino from the heart of Albarino country, and one of our best selling whites! Clean, Crisp and well balanced this wine is crammed with Apricot, Citrus, White Pear and tight acidity. Delightful and dry.
-
A bright and fresh Spanish White made from traditional local Varieties. Works really well with white fish dishes, but can equally well be drunk on its own.
-
Made from one of the purest and most indigenous clones of Tinta de Toro, this is a bright fresh red made naturally and without additives. Raspberry and mineral notes, super value!
-
Sourced this excellent value White Rioja from the guys at El Meson. 100% Viura, extremely drinkable and would make a great alternative to anyone tiring of Sauvignon Blanc. Fruity, dry and refreshing.
-
A beautifully crafted, fruit forward 100% Tempranillo from La Mancha in Spain. Ripe Red and Black fruit abound, with 10 months in American oak adding soft Vanilla on the finish.
-
A fun and fruity easy drinker from Spain. Great for parties and gatherings. A nice glugger on its own or with Saturday night take away!

We tasted this wine with Manuel from the winery, it's a very fruit forward and modern style of Rioja. Wild Strawberries and herbs with an inkling of Sweet Spice. Oak is used sparingly but is noticeable on the finish.
-
Fresher than the Reserva but still with plenty of trademark Rioja character, Black Fruit, Cinnamon and toasty Oak. Really complex and well structured, especially for a Crianza.
-
Prime fruit from select vineyards help to create a Rioja with gorgeous purity of fruit. Limited use of oak allows the Tempranillo to shine through. Soft and smooth to the finish.

94 2000 Bodegas Urbina Selección Crianza (13.5%) A wine for lovers of mature, traditional Rioja at a very appealing price, this is a super Crianza that showcases Tempranillo grapes from the cool climate area of Cuzcurrita. Bright, focused and refreshing, it has aromas of Asian spices and tobacco leaf, redcurrant and summer pudding flavours, subtle oak and silky tannins. Delicious.
