2006 Spain

The village of Porrera, where the Sangenís family is based, used to be called Vall Por. The steep vines which garland the hilltop village are shared between Cariñena, Garnacha, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Aged in French and American oak, the resulting wine is endlessly complex; it is, however, the wine’s elegance that sets it apart – its seam of acidity providing perfect counterpoint to the dense tannins and rich, ripe dark fruit. Drink now to 2022+.

One of Rioja’s signature wines and certainly the most distinctive label from Muga, Prado Enea is aged for seven years in a combination of vat, cask and bottle, its 2006 manifestation cleaving the traditional to the modern with powerful French oak tannins framing a magnificent savoury personality. An almost meaty vitality and more than a whiff of wood-smoke underlines the individuality of this truly great wine, its dark fruit core enhanced by notes of tobacco box and the kitchen garden.

A blend of the classic Rioja grapes with Tempranillo dominating the blend, this is full of vanillin spice and bright red fruit. Beautifully structured with fine tannins, this will clearly reward some extended time in the cellar, if you can keep your hands off it!

Pago de Los Capellanes’ top cuvée is made from 100% Tinto Fino and has been aged in new French oak barrels for 18 months. Rich beyond the dreams of avarice, it is convincing proof of Ribero del Duero's phenomenal potential, with fruit, tannin and acidity entwined with consummate skill.

The bodega of Pago de los Capellanes is located one kilometre from the village of Pedrosa de Duero, in the heart of Ribera del Duero. The name means ‘land of the chaplains’, a reminder that the land was owned by chaplains until the church donated it to the city council in 1855. The vineyards are planted with a 100%Tempranillo and are divided into 35 different plots which are harvested separately. The wines are aged for one to three years (depending on style) in 22 different types of French oak, and offer a modern style alternative to the wines of Vega Sicilia.
