NEW IN. Single Estate Fortified Wine from the Estremadura region. Made from the classic solera system and fortified with local brandy to 17.5% alc. There’s a more-ish nuttiness and an almost Shery-like saltiness to this sweet-but-not-cloying liqueur wine. Absolutely delicious!

Previous vintage recommended by Jancis Robinson FT; Recommended Refreshers. Lovely floral scents of muscat and orange followed on the palate by a fresh and well-balanced crispness which beautifully complements the not-quite-sweet mouthfeel. (Yes, that sounds rather confusing, but I urge you to try it with maybe a citrus pudding, or just on its own.)
Drink now to 2019.

Previous vintges recommended by Jancis Robinson: “Brilliant fruit, fine tannins…..serious build and potential.”
Selected from the best parts of the vineyard, this is a blend of Syrah, Carignan and Mourverdre. Each varietal is kept apart and aged in 500 litre oak barrels for 12 months. Only then do they decide upon the final blend. Once made, the finished wine is aged for yet another 12 months in those same barrels before bottling. Only 10% of the barrels are new wood, so there’s no “in your face ” oakiness here!
Diane only releases this wine if she feels it is up to her highest standards of quality. So, no 2002 vintage ‘ it was all sold off in bulk to the ‘négociants’. The 2003 vintage was a cracker. No 2004 vintage either; that, too, was not good enough, the 2005, 2007 and 2009s brilliant…as was the 2011.
And then along came the equally scrumptious 2103, now the fab 2015. What more can I say? Drink now to 2026 (really!)

So, if you;
are 30 this year
have been married 30 years
have just finished a 30 year stretch at Wormwood Scrubs
this might be a rather special way to mark the occasion.
