As famed Spanish wine expert John Radford wrote in Decanter, the tiny enclave of Campo de Borja is “the source of some of the best value wines from Spain, if not the world”. It’s true. Where else could you find such a mellow, complex, oak aged red at this price? It’s made by our old friend Pamela Geddes (who also makes our bestselling Monasterio de Santa Cruz) at the 500 year old Bodegas Ruberte. 60% of the wine is Garnacha from vines planted in 1958. They’re not as prolific these days but the intensity of flavour in the grapes is impressive. The balance is Cabernet Sauvignon, which adds classic cassis character and structure to the spicy raspberry Garnacha. A rich and fragrant Spanish red best enjoyed with rustic lamb dishes.

Bright and clear colour, with metallic glints in the border. The gin has a citric presence on the nose with fruity and juniper notes. Taste-wise, it's fresh and fruity, with vibrant citric notes and an underlying touch of lemongrass and juniper.

This wine is made from 100% Albariño grapes from a sub region called Condado del Tea, which is loacted in Rías Baixas in Spain's West coast. It is a fresh and elegant wine with notes of citrus, pear, white fruit, tied together with complex minerality and a long finish. A versatile wine that can be drunk with anything from Sushi to Pasta.

Barbadillo, established in 1821, continue to be a very important Sherry producer from within the 'Jerez Triangle' in south-western Spain. Well known for high class, quality Sherry's, this Cuco Oloroso is made in a slightly different way than what is considered the norm. An oxidative process is used to develop the nutty, complex characters into the wine instead of the usual Flor yeast system. This produces an intensely flavoured Oloroso with a rich and smooth texture and dominant walnut notes. The finish covers the palate with a dense, velvet like feel.

Vermut or Vermouth is the perfect drink for any time of the day. Serve long with a lots of ice and orange wedge and a Spanish green olive. Serve short topped with soda and same garnish. Use in coattails where a sweet Vermouth is needed. Especially good in Negronis and Americanos.
