Rubén Díaz La Sorpresa Tinaja Oxidativa
Spanish Red
$57.99
Deliberately oxidative and deeply savoury, with mature red fruit, dried herbs and a firm mineral line. High-altitude Grenache from Cebreros grows on decomposed granite and slate, then follows a solera-like tradition in tinajas and barrels, building concentration and complexity over time.

Ossian 2018 Verdejo
Spanish White
$76.99

Serve with roasted poultry, grilled fish or creamy vegetable dishes.
Verónica Ortega 2020 ROC Bierzo
Spanish Red

Fresh, balanced and quietly complex, it finishes long, savoury and poised for further development.
