Dark and delicious Spanish blend of Tempranillo (85%) and Merlot (15%) made from grapes planted at high altitudes in the village of Moradillo de Roa. The hillside vineyards give depth and ripe fruit flavours to this dry, full bodied red, which has bright fresh fruit flavours, notes of spice and a smooth soft lush texture. 

Ozu Chardonnay (D.O. Navarra) is 100% Chardonnay and spends three months on its lees prior to bottling. No oak is used and the wine is clean, bright and mineral with a floral and citrus nose.

Pairs well with seafood, grilled and baked fish, white meats, light pasta dishes and sheep's cheeses.

From the winery

"Macán is a modern and very personal interpretation of the finest and most expressive wines in DOCa Rioja. It is a commitment to refinement, elegance, complexity and power. It is the flagship brand of Bodegas Benjamin de Rothschild & Vega Sicilia, the joint initiative launched in 2004 by Tempos Vega Sicilia and Compagnie Vinicole Edmond de Rothschild.

2009 was the first vintage to be released. Expertise, dedication, patience and a desire to improve have all contributed to the development of a project that today boasts 100 hectares of top quality vineyards and state-of-the-art winemaking facilities that combine technology, tradition and innovation.

Macán is made exclusively from Tempranillo grapes. The fruit comes from a painstaking selection of old plots on elevated terraces and poor, gravelly, clay-limestone soils.

The grapes were rustic when we tasted them in September 2019, but the 80 litres of rain helped to polish this texture. We had to be very careful to avoid overripe grapes and to find the right al dente moment to harvest the fruit. It was a vintage of very gentle, almost infusion-like fermentations, avoiding excessive extraction of the press wines and polishing them before the blending stage. In an attempt to tame the wine, we also reduced the use of barrels in favour of foudres."

A joint venture between Benjamin de Rothschild & Vega Sicilia.

'The 2020 Macan Clasico was cropped from a more generous crop. The grapes were put in a cold chamber for one night and then underwent a cold soak of three to four days, after which they inoculated the yeasts -in 2020, 25% of it was their native yeast. It fermented in stainless steel, and the elevage was 45% in new French oak, 5% new American oak barrels, 28% in second use barrel and 22% in stainless steel for one year. The bottled wine has 14% alcohol, a pH of 3.78 and 4.5 grams of acidity (tartaric). This is one of the most elegant vintages of this bottling so far. It has showy aromatics with notes of smoky bacon, a bit meaty, and the thing that surprised me the most was the velvety texture. 202,697 bottles, 1,998 magnums and some larger formats produced. It was bottled in August 2022.' Wine Advocate

Great Garnacha from the town of Cadalso de los Vidrios in the Sierra de Gredos, which is hot property for new wave Garnachas right now. 

This medium bodied wine has big bold fruit flavours balanced by high acidity developed in the high-altitude vineyards and firm tannins that contribute to its long finish. 

The wine is a light, delicate and perfumed expression of Garnacha with firm tannins surrounding a core of lively fruit and a long finish; great value for money. 

Mara Mart?n Exceptional white wine born in the heart of Monterrei. The essence of inland Galicia runs through its veins: freshness and serenity. Mara takes you by the hand to a brilliant autumn.

100% Chardonnay from the Catalonian region of Penedes in Spain, sandwiched between the Mediterranean and the local coastal mountains not far from Barcelona. The region is famed for its Cava production but here we see new wave wine makers Cellers Avgvstvs Forvm working with a Chardonnay and showing how modern Spanish winemaking is evolving.

Aged in French Nevers oak for 4 month and offering plenty of tropical and citrus fruit flavours and aromas.

Premium Cava made from carefully selected organic Xarel·lo, Macabeu, Parellada, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, which are then worked manually to achieve the best result.

In the glass this is a lively and bright cava with balanced aromas of white fruit, citrus and green almonds. 

Exceptionally tasty Albarino made in a bone dry style with fleshy unctuous texture from skin contact. Outstanding flavours and depth. Great white in taste, value and the all important X factor wow.

Bodegas Casa Castillo is located on the plateau of Jumilla where its 174 hectare vineyard enjoys a high altitude and the cooling influence of the Mediterranean. Lovers of Bandol reds will enjoy this lovely smooth, full bodied red from Casa Castillo, a blend of Monastrell 60%, Garnacha 20% and Syrah 20%. 

It's made from old bush vines which provide very small amounts of highly concentrated juice. Modern winemaking with cold macerations retains freshness and new French oak provides structure. The wines are generally bottled unfiltered to allow them to be as expressive as possible and they are a bargain for the quality produced.

Now owned by the renowned sherry producer Gonzalez Byass, Bodegas Beronia was created in 1973 by a wine and food club and is now considered a benchmark Rioja house.

A deep picota cherry red colour with a garnet edge, this wine is clean and bright. It is complex on the nose, with aromas of cherry and raspberry standing out, complemented by herbal notes - rosemary and thyme - and hints of cinnamon and tobacco. Very fresh and tantalising on the palate, this wine displays a plethora of flavours, the most prominent of which are the confected notes of vanilla and chocolate.

Biodynamic Spanish white made from the characterful, spicy Xarello grape - a Spanish specialty, most often used to make sparkling wine but here used to create a tasty dry still white. 

WInemaker Ramon Jan? broke with his family tradition of 500 years - of selling off large volumes of grapes to large cava (sparkling wine) producers and used his Xarello grapes here to create a dry, medium bodied white, giving the grapes 24 hours of skin contact before fermentation, which adds tasty body to the wine, leading into flavoursome notes of tropical fruit, yellow apple, fennel and fresh length thanks to its zesty acidity.
