From Castilla y Leon comes this classic Spanish Merlot. A complex bouquet of ripe fruit with toasty and dark roasted scents. Good texture on the palate with nicely integrated oak.

Raices Ibericas is an exceptional cellar that searches out ancient hidden vineyards of Spain’s rare, forgotten grapes. Here they feature Albillo, from fine, chalky soils, in this top-class white. It's citrus fresh with pristine mineral elegance.

Toro is some 90 minutes further west from Ribera del Duero, close to the Portuguese border. The Puerto Novas winery makes limited amounts of wine from a 15 hectare parcel of old bush vines varying in age between 40 and 100 years old. They benefit from long, hot summers with cool, crisp nights to produce wines with great balance between fruit and acidity.

The wine has aromas of bright fruit with scents of raspberry, strawberry and a hint of smoke. The flavour starts with fruity strawberries backed by soft, sweet tannins and as it opens up in the glass, plum and blueberry accents come more to the fore. A good partner for robust red meats and cheese.

Albarín is a grape variety originally from Asturias and which spread throughout Cantabria and Castilla y León. It almost disappeared until 10 years ago when winegrowers began to replant it. You can still find vines that are more than 100 years old.

Prieto Picudo is a very rare, dark-skinned, red wine grape that grows primarily in its homeland of León, located in northern Spain. There are a little more than 4,000 hectares planted in Spain.
Dried cherry notes, rustic and chalky tannins, soft and ripe. A smooth and mellow red wine with a long finish and a degree of complexity.

Juan García is a native variety from the provinces of Zamora and Salamanca (Castilla y León), where it is planted in large numbers.
Bright cherry red colour with violet reflections. On the nose there are notes of raspberry, currants and slightly ripe cherries and spices from the barrel aging, as well as a touch of vanilla.
It is a fresh wine in the mouth and the menthol touches typical of the variety stand out. It is a light wine but with persistence.

Bright; light and clean the nose is of pears in syrup; with more aromatic and tropical Sauvignon notes of passionfruit and peach. The pallet is light and fresh; with perfectly balances sweetness and acidity. Lots more passionfruit; honeysuckle and lifted tropical fruits on the finish.
