Javiers mastery of Garnacha is once again on display. Soft, creamy and elegant

"The ebullient Juan Carlos Lopez De Lacaille owns this delightful Navarre
property located on perfect clay and limestone soils between the Pyrenees and
the Ebro Valley. Garnacha lends itself quite naturally to rosé wines, being
extrovert and accessible of personality. A generous colour, with strawberry and
red currant flavours, but seamless grip to underwrite structure and ensure a
friendliness to food. " Simon Field, MW (BBR Buyer)

"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; where the 2007 really
impresses is 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." (Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer)

Attractive purple colouring and a delightful come-hither nose. On the palate
there is no disappointment; strawberry, spice, pepper and fennel... a fantastic
and generous compote of flavour.

"Juan Carlos makes superlative wines at both ends of the scale. The reason?
Attention to detail through the entire process, reflected in his Navarra
property by organic viticulture and a maturation regime which affords the
Artazuri a generous 6 months in barrel. The ensuing complexity is a delight to
behold. The natural exuberance of the Garnacha grape is not lost, merely
enhanced by a complexity which combines notes of spice, licorice, damson and
bitter chocolate." (Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer)

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 second wine of Clos de La Figuera, sourced from younger vines. This
displays intense aromas of black cherries, spice and complex herb and minerally
characteristics; pulling the cork on a bottle of this lovely wine will conjure
up long, warm, Spanish evenings.

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"
