Rioja’s best wine-maker, Juan Carlos Lopez de Lacalle, has spread his
wings and developed extremely successful Bodegas in Navarra to the East and
sunny Alicante on the Med. In Navarra the focus is on the Garnacha grape and
the result, the Artazuri Garnacha, one of the best value red wines in our
entire portfolio. Creamy damsons, peppery grip and an incredibly satisfying
length all single out this wine; 2007 is well up to the standard of its
forebears and there have been no compromises made despite the modest price
tag.

The best rosé yet made from this mightily impressive estate, watched
over by the careful eye of Juan Carlos Lopez De Lecalle. The Garnacha is
naturally exuberant and richly fruity; this was ever thus; it impresses with
its grip, structure and length. The red fruits are allied to gentle notes of
mandarin, spice and pepper. A really excellent rosé, promising much,
delivering more.

The Perrins are attempting to fashion a wine of Burgundian charm, and the
supple blueberry, raspberry and compote notes signal a conspicuous success.
Purity and power are skilfully juxtaposed in this unexpectedly elegant style of
Gigondas.

Big, concentrated dessert red from the eponymous enclave, with firm, lush
flavours of fudge, dark plum, cassis and kirsch. Spicy finish filled with
chocolate truffle notes. Like a young vintage port with Mediterranean sunshine
thrown in for good measure.

A superb discovery from the skillful hands of Rene Barbier. Monsant surrounds
Priorat and shares its soil base of schist and clay. This is a blend of
Cabernet, Garnacha and Merlot and has been aged for 16 months in French oak. It
has the elegance of a top claret and the warmth of a great Rioja; Laurona shows
a fresh and expressive nose bursting with berry fruit, licorice and dried
mediterranean herbs. It will accompany classic meat or game dishes.
"Very complete. Fresh. Liquorice undertow. Not too expensive for the quality.
Well fashioned. Not weighed down by alcohol or rasping tannin."
(Jancis Robinson - Reds for Christmas - Financial Times - 03-Dec-2007)

The flagship wine from the Artazuri estate. A single vineyard 100% Grenache
from 80-year old vines at an elevation of 750 meters, this estate is the brain
child of Juan-Carlos Lopez, the chief wine-maker at Artadi. Faboulously
complex, with vivid black cherry and floral-scented nose, that leads to a a
rich, silky palate of forest fruits and dried herbs, overlaid by a typical
high-altitude freshness and refreshing acidity"

Messrs Combier and Gerin, already well-established in the Northern Rhone, have
joined forces with Dutchman Peter Fisher, to explore the schistous terraces of
Priorat and the joys of the Garnacha grape. This they have done with
considerable aplomb producing a family of wines with real class. The 1/3 is the
junior cuvee, which is ripe and gloriously approachable, with notes of damson
and cassis to the fore.
