Why do we love this case?

Rioja is a region that needs no introduction. Universally adored worldwide for making powerfully focussed, incredibly age-worthy and unbelievably enjoyable wines, Rioja rarely disappoints. These six represent a wide variety of styles, from the ever-famous tempranillo to the always-delicious grenache. Theyā€™re aged and ready to go, but thereā€™s aeons of life in them yet, so no rush.Ā 

Every case contains ONE of each of the following:

Finca de la Rica , who make this wonderful wine, are one of our all time favourite Rioja producers. They work with around forty small plots of old vines across Rioja Alavesa and make small volumes of top-quality wine. El RincoĢn de Los Enebros is their take on a grenache-dominant blend, with tempranillo playing a supporting role. Anyone familiar with the region knows that old vine garnacha from Rioja can reach lofty heights of excellence and this wine certainly has some of that magic. Part of the magic is the twelve months that it spends in new American oak, that is wrapped into the generous fruit, and balanced by the fresh notes (likely from the temp). Itā€™s rich and powerful, and very silky - the fruit spectrum is blue and red (in abundance) and there are layers of toasty vanillin notes along with baking spice. Iā€™m going to take a punt and say that lovers of full-bodied reds from malbec to shiraz to Amarone are going to be absolutely delighted by this one.

Old Vines

A wine needs to be next level in order for a critic of James Sucklingā€™s calibre to call it phenomenal. That wine is this garnacha (grenache) from one of Riojaā€™s best - Sierra Cantabria - part of the empire that has been owned and run by the Erugen family since 1870. Thatā€™s a long time. This particular wine comes from 93-year-old vines and is a great example of old vine Rioja garnacha. There is power, depth and an infinite amount of detail in each glass. The wine will improve with a decant and also improve with a few more years in bottle. Thereā€™s dense layers of dark fruits like plums and figs, sitting beautifully with earthy and herbaceous notes. Thereā€™s enough tannin to let you know youā€™re drinking Rioja, but in balance with the fruit.

Weā€™re pleased to welcome back another vintage of El Buscador (the Searcher) by the team at Finca de la Rica in Spainā€™s most famous region of La Rioja. Finca de la Rica are some of the nicest guys in the wine industry. You donā€™t go a minute with them without wine in your glass, food on your plate and a good chat. Muy buena gente. Like the 2016, this is top-notch Rioja. You can tell just by looking at it. It looks somehow livelier in the glass, more vital and intense. Tempranillo and garnacha make up the mix here (90/10%), singing of juicy cherries and plums. Oak treatment comprises of a 70-30 French-American split, giving darker toasty notes and a background coconuty hint. The wine is deep and complex, but also fun and never too imposing. For fans of the 2016, this new vintage is a touch more concentrated, as it contains declassified barrels of some of their top sites.

Mofo Fave

Tempranillo is Spainā€™s superstar red grape and this temp is from one of Riojaā€™s best - Sierra Cantabria - part of the empire that has been owned and run by the Erugen family since 1870. Theyā€™ve had a while to work out how to make superb Rioja and we are grateful for their hard work and dedication. Racy red cherries, juicy-as-hell plums, exotic spicesā€¦ theyā€™ve pieced it all together perfectly. Thereā€™s a touch of oak, as youā€™d imagine, but most of the power in this medium-bodied wine is from fruit. Next time youā€™re out under the pergola with your mates, barbie sizzling away quietly to the side, sun shining happily in the sky, leave the shiraz alone! Pull out a bottle of this instead.

This is Riojaā€™s new wave tempranillo thatā€™s named after a crazy cat! Far from the dusty leather armchair wines most associated with the region, this is young, racy and much more fun. Itā€™s for a young-at-heart crowd, bright, juicy and exuberant. Though, for all its fun, it tastes like a wine well above the price bracket. Raucously red fruited, with 10% American oak to give it some spice, it is compact and punchy in form. Great value for all of the spice, plums and tannins in this delicious wine.
