Pago Aylés Cuesta del Herrero 2020
- Rich, full-bodied
- Cariñena
Bloody hell, this is good. Those were the exact words I said to myself as I finished the first of what was to be many bottles. This wine is unique for many reasons, but particularly for those three beautiful, coveted words: Vino de Pago. This classifies a single vineyard of immense quality and interest, much like France’s Grand Cru classification. There are only 20 of them across Spain, making this almost infinitely better value than any wine you can buy at the price. We barely need to say more than the Best in Show review from Decanter below. All we need to say is there are not many wines like this one.

Decanter Magazine
“There is yet more impressive Iberian Best In Show value from this Pago wine, the first in Aragon: Ayles, sited near to Zaragoza. It’s a young blend of Garnacha and Tempranillo with a little Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, and stood out for successive panels of judges thanks to its generosity, poise and charm. Dark black-red in colour, its sweet, pure black-cherry and plum fruits waft alluringly from the glass. The concentration is remarkable for this price bracket, and the combination of indigenous varieties with a seasoning of Bordeaux favourites brings the wine a complexity which almost comes as a surprise after its aromatic sweetness. Its a wine from evidently propitious vineyards -- about which we will surely hear more in future.”
