Cast down Spain's eastern coast and you’ll stumble across the desert-like landscape of Jumilla. It’s where Spaghetti Westerns used to be filmed and is home to some of the oldest and most concentrated Syrah and Monastrell vines in Spain.
Lovers of mature Rioja will recognise the red berry and oak character of this terrific value Gran Reserva gem from Valencia. It’s been wowing wine judges for years and was skilfully crafted by a winery regularly tipped by Spanish wine guide, Peñín.
The Manzanos brothers make a range of customer favourite Riojas at their family estate. Then just over the border, into Navarra, they also own vineyards and there make this bright fruit red. All Tempranillo, it is silky with deep berry flavour.
Trust this terrific family estate and the exciting Navarra region to come up with this cracking red. A Reserva style with five years' age made nearly all from Cabernet Sauvignon, with a touch of fragrant Graciano. Silky fruit with long toasty spice.
This power-packed, old-vine Garnacha is from a winery founded in 1939 in Navarra’s Baja Montaña region. Crafted from the intensely flavoured grapes of ancient, low-yielding vines grown high on a windswept plain, this is a dense, raspberry-rich red.
The tiny enclave of Campo de Borja is the source of some of the best value wines from Spain, if not the world... where else could you find such a mellow, complex, oak aged red at this price?
