"Sweetly ripe and beautifully fragrant on the nose showing dark plum, cherry, olive and subtle spice aromas, leading to a supple palate that’s succulent and rounded. It’s brightly expressed with upfront fruit flavours, finishing silky and lingering. At its best: now to 2026" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Nov 2022

"Every year, this is one of the greatest bargains on the shelf, a simple, upfront but generous red at a stunning price" Paul Tudor, Master of Wine

A full-flavoured, soft, supple, vibrant, plummy red with refreshing acidity and rich but smooth tannins to partner with a wide variety of savoury cuisine. With a host of accolades over the past 10 vintages, this label is one of the most consistent, great-value wines on the market.

Sourced from 25-40 year-old vines grown in La Mancha and Valdepenas made by 5th generation wine producers Navarro Lopez in liaison with local wine importer and Master of Wine Steve Bennett. A wine designed to introduce Kiwi wine drinkers to the delights of Spanish wine and Spain’s signature grape variety Tempranillo.
