Medium-deep gold colour. Tempting nose of baked, spiced Spartan apple, papaya and a hint of banana. Guava flavours continue the tropical theme in the mouth, with added rich green apple and a bit of lemon for tartness. Full-bodied and ready to drink.
Palomino is a white grape that typically finds its way in Sherry, but this bodega crafts a characterful white from it. Full body with appealing salty and roasted almond notes and a charming oxidative profile. The slight bitterness compensates for the moderate acidity. A wine made to shine with food: Manchego and roasted almond for the aperitif and mushroom risotto for the main course.
This Bordeaux-modeled blend has started to transition into adolescence as the tannins have softened and complexity has emerged. Cassis, tobacco, black cherry, mocha, vanilla and spice are apparent from start to finish. It is complex, layered and long. It will go another 6 years.
Aromas of stone fruit, peach and nectarine before a generous and juicy, well-structured palate defined by apple and pear notes. A streak of lemon zest underpinned by keen acidity.
Dark ruby. Black berries with obvious oak, dried fine herbs (thyme, rosemary). Full-bodied, rich texture and ripe fruity taste. Tannins are tight with no graininess. Balanced finish. Drink or hold.
A versatile, well-priced Bordeaux blend, which features cassis, plum, raspberry, herbs, smoke and spice. Medium-bodied and perfect for those pasta and pizza evenings.
Sourced from 28-year-old vines in warm Osoyoos, this Marechal Foch delivers a charmingly bright, brambly and robust style. Fragrant floral, hickory and blackberry leads to cinnamon-dusted field berries. Jammy-yet-tangy finish, with chocolate and tobacco notes. Superb with smoked meat.
