Amongst the white washed houses of Arcos de la Frontera, Andalucia, lies Finca Moncloa, a small vineyard owned by Gonzalez Byass. The Finca grows fruit with unique concentration and depth of flavour. Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah grapes are hand selected and skilfully blended to create a velvety smooth, full bodied wine with complex flavours of ripe, red berry fruit, vanilla and spice.

Mallorca's 2nd largest producer, Macià Batle make distinctive and characterful wines - this is a full-bodied red with a rich, smooth finish.

Formiga is a wine that gently soothes the palate!

85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Syrah. A glass-coating opaque purple colour, it exhibits an expressive bouquet of smoke, graphite, spice box, violets, blackcurrant, and blackberry. Dense and sweet on the palate, this plush offering is locked and loaded. Give it 1-2 years to blossom and pull the trigger.

The deep crimson-coloured 2006 Quinta Sardonia gives up an aromatic array of cedar, Asian spices, incense, and blackberry. Savoury and supple on the palate, it has enough underlying structure to evolve for 2-3 years and should be at its best from 2012 to 2026.
