Spain

Valdespino is one of the oldest bodegas in Jerez. In 1264, Alfonso Valdespino was one of 24 knights who fought against the Arabs for the city of Jerez with King Alfonso X. As a reward for his efforts, he was given the land that formed the basis of the bodega. Deliciosa is very dry, crisp and fresh with a slightly saline finish.

Intense cherry red in colour. On the nose, aromas of ripe strawberries and raspberries are married with spicy notes of liquorice and chocolate and subtle floral hints. On the palate, velvety tannins give a silky mouthfeel and a crisp acidity carries the flavours onto the spicy finish.

Intense aromatics of ripe melon and pears balanced by leesy, yeasty notes. The palate is broad, textural and intense with well-integrated, toasty oak characters, kiwi and grapefruit acidity and impeccable balance. A deliciously bitter twist on the finish maintains the complexity of this fine Spanish white.

From one of the worlds top sherry producers, this vermouth is made from a blend of PX and Oloroso macerated with 27 botanicals (sourced locally where possible). Rich and mouthfilling, citrus peel fruit flavours are balanced with sweet spice and herbal characteristics. Delicious served over ice, with a splash of soda and garnished with a slice of orange.

The nose has pronounced moscatel grape and spice aromas. Semi-sweet and persistent on the palate, with characteristic wormwood notes alongside clove and thyme.

Opaquely dark mahogany colour. The nose seduces with intense dried fruit aromas of raisins, prunes and dates, coupled with brown spices of nutmeg and clove, this becomes reminiscent of Christmas cake.

This wine has complex and savoury flavours, and his wines age beautifully. Silky and elegant, with enticing flavours of tobacco and leather.

This is 100% Tempranillo, from 50 year old vines. Sourced from a single vineyard with 13 months in oak and 16 months in bottle. A superb wine with a wonderful aromatic nose with a palate of many layers of soft, succulent fruit. Really delicious.

A rare breed aged Fino with only 1000 bottles made annually. Broad and full yet fresh with a deep, yeasty, nutty palate, fresh acidity and balanced alcohol.

Delicious berry flavours are complemented by dark chocolate notes, produced during the 24 months this excellent example of a Rioja spends in barrel.
