Monastrell

Made from 100% Monastrell in Alicante from old bush vines situated on calcareous, sandy and gravelly soils. Yields are consistently low. Fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel before a few months' ageing in the same tanks. 

 

91 Points, Decanter

A consistent favourite in the extensive Telmo Rodriguez portfolio, and one of the best-value wines in a country not short on bargains. This 100% Monastrell (Mourvèdre) is intense, sinewy and dark but with a seam of brightness that makes it effortlessly drinkable.

90% Verdejo & 10% ViURA

 

Basa is made from Verdejo and Viura grapes in the Rueda DO, about two hours northwest of Madrid. The region is famous for fresh white wines made from Verdejo and this is a fitting example. The name comes from the 40-year-old 'baso' or bush-trained vines that are planted on limestone-rich soils at over 700-meters elevation on a plateau along the Duero River. The vineyard is farmed organically, and fermentation is carried out spontaneously with native yeast. Expect a fresh, fruit-driven white wine with just the right balance between charming fruit and aromatic complexity.

 

91 Points, Vinous (2021 vintage)

Pale, green-tinged yellow. Fresh citrus fruits, succulent herbs and white flowers on the incisive, mineral-accented nose. Taut and energetic on the palate, offering juicy Meyer lemon and green apple flavors that slowly put on weight with air. Finishes on a repeating mineral note, with very good persistence and lingering fennel and lemon pith qualities.

Tempranillo, Graciano and Garnacha

Dynamic and youthful red wine, boasting a fruit-laden profile redolent of the zestful nuances of cherries and raspberries. Its spiced bouquet is intricately laced with delicate lactic undertones, crafting an inviting and complex olfactory experience. Upon tasting, its intensity and purity are pronounced, delivering a revitalizing and vivacious palate. Despite its nascent stage, it exhibits a robust structure and a seamless flow that beckons one to indulge further, culminating in a subtly bitter finish that accentuates its distinctive personality.

 

91 Points, Robert Parker Wine Advocate, (2020 vintage)

The 2020 LZ comes from an early harvest after a warm year not without challenges (mildew). The Tempranillo, Garnacha and Graciano grapes come from their own organically farmed vineyards and fermented in concrete vats with indigenous yeasts for 15 days; the wine matured in concrete for six to seven months before bottling. It's very primary and has notes of licorice and a juicy texture. Pablo Eguzkiza was telling me he likes 2020 better than 2019. The wine shows very good balance and fine, round tannins.

Mencia

 

The influence of the Atlantic Ocean is on full display, with its moderating influence playing its part in bringing balance to this wine. While it is ripe and full bodied, much like its white counterpart, this is vibrant and focussed, with no shortage of complexity and minerality.

Telmo’s red wine, once again from Galicia, is a red that shows the character of the stony hills and the Atlantic Ocean. This is a red wine made of 100% Mencia, a Spanish varietal found scattered through the country’s northwest. The vineyards are organically farmed, and the fruit is fermented again in stainless steel in order to maintain freshness, and using indigenous yeasts. 

 

95 Points, Decanter

Telmo Rodríguez’s journey through Spain reviving and recuperating vineyards has led him to work with 43 different varieties. Although established in Rioja, he has also put Málaga back on the map and worked with Garnacha in the Sierra de Gredos, as well as establishing wineries in other regions. This Mencía is fermented and aged in stainless steel, revealing the variety’s purity. Sarah Jane Evans MW: Forward, juicy aromas. Distinctly individual profile, with dense, succulent fruit and a long, ripe finish. Beth Willard: Pretty nose with tomato vine, sour cherry, floral. Very crunchy, green freshness and just the right amount of grippy tannin. Highly drinkable. David Williams: Lovely, pure, graceful and fragrant – full of violet and raspberry juice, racy and succulent with silky tannins and a twist of bergamot and blood orange tang, beetroot earthiness. Almost Pinot-esque

Lanzaga is the backbone of our project, the identity, the purest expression of our work in Lanciego. Made only from a selection of the best grapes from our own organic vineyards, Lanzaga brings together all the elements of our way of work; respect of the place, bush pruning, field blend, organic viticulture, concrete fermentation, aging in foudres and barrels of different sizes and origins, keeping always a limited production of human size. The result is a rich and complex expression of the village of Lanciego; a Rioja wine with a true sense of place; a serious and sophisticated wine that ages wonderfully.

A fantastically pleasant, delicate, and accessible wine from the Sierra de Gredos, produced using old organic Garnacha vines. The slate and granite soils blend together, giving this wine depth and fruity character.

 92 Points, Wine Advocate (previoius vintage)

2019 was a warm and challenging year with frost in March, hail in the summer and rains close to the harvest date in Gredos. The 2019 Pegaso Zeta was produced with old vine Garnacha on granite and schist soils; it fermented with indigenous yeasts in oak and stainless steel vats and amphorae, and it matured in a combination of 500- and 600-liter barrels, amphorae and stainless steel for 12 months. It's aromatic and expressive, with red fruit and herbs and unnoticeable oak. It's round and juicy, powerful and balanced with some grainy tannins. It's a wine that should do very well with food. 17,021 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2020.

Each case contains 1 bottle of each:

 

 

Savage Salt River - 2024

Named for the trendy area of Cape Town that Savage Wines calls home, it's bursting with white pepper sprinkled gooseberries, elderflower, tangy starfruit, white currants, passionfruit and pomelo and its pith. Straight as an arrow, with icy cold Atlantic sea spray freshness.

 

Bachelder Chardonnay Lincoln Lakeshore - 2022

A minerally and elegant, nuanced nose of orchard fruits, lemon zest, flint, toasted vanilla, and spice. Made from fruit is sourced from Grimsby Hillside, Laundry and Mio vineyards

 

Palmento Costanzo Mofete Bianco - 2023

Medium straw yellow colour with a fragrant bouquet rich of citrus fruit and mineral notes, with hints of Mediterranean herbs. It is vibrant, fresh and sapid on the palate.

A fantastically pleasant, delicate, and accessible wine from the Sierra de Gredos, produced using old organic Garnacha vines. The slate and granite soils blend together, giving this wine depth and fruity character.

Ruby red in colour, with purplish-blue highlights; the nose exhibits fragrant fruit with prominent notes of cherries, echoed by fresher hints of pepper and aromatic herbs, typical of Corvina and Corvinone, the historic varietals of this appellation. Whilst young it is impressively lively and playful on the palate while it expresses greater delicacy and finesse some two years later.

 

Colome Autentico Malbec - 2023

This wine is intense in colour and full of aromas like cherries, blackberries, figs, cassis and cloves with elegant spice and mineral notes. The mouth is crisp and robust with a high concentration of ripe and round tannins.

 El Transistor is the purest and most sincere expression of grapes from very old vineyards in the village of La Seca. This wine reflects the best expression of Verdejo: bushvines, low yields, a simple and respectful winemaking process, and our 20 years of experience and knowledge of this area, make this a very consistent wine.
