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.

VINEYARDS = Garnacha Tintorera is the most representativegrape of Almansa. Our grapes are carefully selected from the low yield bush vines of over 60 years old and grown at a high altitude of 1090m above sea level on red soil rich in iron oxides upon a layer of calcareous rock. The combination of these elements creates a wine that can enrich the tasting experience beyond the most ambitious expectations.VINIFICATION = Soft stalk stripping. Maceration fermentation for 25 days. Malolactic fermentation in American and French oak for 12 months.COLOUR = Deep garnet red.BOUQUET = Intense and persistent, with notes of cherry andblackcurrant, herbs, cinnamon, cloves, cocoa, licorice and hints of mineral.PALATE = Great structure, good balance between alcohol andfreshness, velvety tannins, very persistent with a long finish.Ready to drink now or well suitable for ageing.RECOMMENDED WITH = Excellent with rich first courses, redmeat, seasoned cheeses.SERVING TEMPERATURE = 18 20 Degrees C.

Mencia is an up and coming grape variety due to it's versatility and approachability. This smooth and balanced expression displays notes of intense cherries, rasperries and flowers with fine tannins that makes it so approachable and well-rounded.
