A fresh and enjoyable Tempranillo with red cherries and savoury overtones on the palette, well balanced easy drinking wine. Great with tapas, red meats and cheeses as well as to drink on its own.

Drinking inexpensive Spanish wine, however noble the variety from which it is made, can often feel like more of a chore than a pleasure yet this simple but effective table wine is both fresh and fruity and can be quaffed with ease. Plummy flavours of damsons and cherries, the finish is short yet fragrant. Great as an aperitif with Banderi..

This perfect Sherry is aged in American oak casks through the traditional “solera y criaderas” method in Lustau's winery in El Puerto de Santa María, a seaside town situated in the Sherry triangle. Pale yellow in colour, reminiscent of yeast on the nose. Dry and crisp on the palate. It is a great..

From the small appellation of Yecla in southern Spain comes this very moreish wine made from Monastrell a.k.a Mourvèdre. It is rich and smooth but not heavy and would sit very well with a nice shoulder of lamb.

Fresh bright wine with an intense pale yellow and green tones, with aromas of fennel over a base of tropical fruit with pineapple and mango standing out. Balanced acidity and long finish, a Rioja well worth trying.

Crianza’s have less oak ageing than Reservas and Gran Reservas, and this means that you inevitably have a less complex wine but a wine that is often much more enjoyable, especially when it is young. With plenty of ripe, juicy fruit this Crianza is both fresh and sweet coupled with enticing aromas of coconut and vanilla.

This was undoubtedly the best white wine we tried on our trip to the region. Made by a lovely chap called Francisco Fernandez in a tiny bodega not much bigger than a double garage, this is truly gorgeous. Smelling of lemon oil and pineapple with a seam of minerality this is fine wine made with real care and attention to detail. Multi-awar..

This is another wine where with every sip you can feel the care and attention that went into making it. Made from a melange of typical Galician and northern Portuguese varieties, this really is an excellent wine. A mixture of French and American Oak was used to good effect and helps highlight the delicious autumnal fruit that feels intens..

Mark et al were sitting in the Chelsea Bar in the city of Ponferrada where, like so many good continental bars, they had a number of local wines available by the glass. They had been searching for a Mencia that we felt would do justice to the grape, region and of course O&B and found it here. Sweet oak and blackberry dominate on the nose ..
