‘The Wine Society’s most recent London tasting for wine writers… of particular note in this line-up are the Spaniards representing my top-scoring wines.’

(Richard Hemming MW JancisRobinson.com, 9th August 2019)

Every time I visit Spain I return inspired. Blessed with hundreds of characterful local grapes, mature vineyards spread over 60 distinct wine-

producing regions and more land under vine than any other European country, the choice is vast. There is always something new and exciting to

discover. This selection is the result of my travels and tastings this year, taking in Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Navarra plus my first visit to Valencia where I

unearthed some amazing wines.Spain continues to offer exceptional value for money and at all price points.

From £6 to £20+, the quality-to-price ratio is one of the best in the world. To help find your way around this fantastic selection of wines, we have divided it into five sections and there are no fewer than six mixed cases for those that

want a total immersion!

NEW Alión Ribera del Duero 2013This is made by the world-renowned Vega Sicilia from 30-year-old vineyards in the prime districts of Ribera del Duero. The 2013 vintage resulted in an elegant Alión with much more subtlety than the 2012. Drink now to 2024. 14.5% ref ES-SP12251£55 bottle | £660 dozen

Navajas Crianza Rioja 2015This smooth, plump Rioja is a members’ (and staff !) favourite vintage after vintage. We love its combination of vanilla-infused flavour from high-quality oak and vibrant red-fruit notes. 13.5%ref ES-SP14411£8.95 bottle | £107 dozen

Still Spain’s leading fine wine region not least because of their mastery at ageing wines, releasing them only when ready to drink. 2016, 2015 and 2010 are excellent vintages for the reds whilst the older vintages featured here are fully mature. Whites (blancos) are the big news in Rioja where,

after years of underwhelming quality, there is a resurgence of delicious, oak-aged styles: we have extended our range of white Riojas this year accordingly.

NEW Caminos del Sacramento, Rioja 2017Rich and full-bodied from exceptional vineyards in the Alavesa (one of the best areas of Rioja), this is polished and layered with ripe blueberry fruit enhanced with high-quality oak. Drink now to 2025. 14%ref ES-SP15241£18 bottle | £216 dozen
