The reliability and quality of Spanish wines means that they are always in demand. There's more to Spain than Rioja, of course, and this luxury selection of rich reds deliberately features other regions, with six different wines in the half case and pairs of each in the full dozen.

Each mixed case contains one bottle each of the following:

The magnum format of one of our most popular white wines. The Verdejos of Rueda are sometimes dubbed the Sauvignons of Spain, but their individual aromatic character and balance of freshness and weight in the mouth make them distinctively appealing.

The Guía Peñín 2018, the top reference for Spanish wines, accorded the 2016 Verdejo 91/100 (Excellent).

The prestigious French publication Gilbert & Gaillard awarded the 2016 vintage 92/100, describing this (high praise indeed from the French) as “a gourmet wine”.

Rich blend of grapes from California’s Napa Valley.

The full flavours and creamy texture of this oaked white Rioja from old vines are likely to please fans of Californian Chardonnay, although the grapes are Viura—known elsewhere in Spain as Macabeo—and the local Malvasía Riojana.

There are aromas of peach and a mineral citrus peel note balancing the influence of the French oak barrels.

In the mouth, a rich, unctuous creaminess swirls around layers of tropical fruit: melon, pineapple and banana and the bright juiciness of the Viura before a long, supple finish.

Bold and rounded, this wine, fermented and aged on the lees for eight months in barrel, is very well suited to oily fish or seafood in a cream sauce as well as charcuterie and poultry.

To allow all its depths of honeyed richness to develop, don't over-chill the bottle, and give the wine a while to breathe before serving.

Enjoy the full, spicy aromas of this darkly fruity Primitivo from Salento and then savour its generous dried fruit character and plump, velvety texture.

This is a robust and mouthfilling wine, with hints of cocoa and vanilla and a lingering finish.

An extravagant bouquet of sweet spices and pepper, followed by a full-throttle, firm-tannined wash of ripe blackberry, menthol and minerals. A very serious wine! So treat like a Bordeaux, and aerate well, before enjoying alongside roast beef, mature cheeses or chargrilled vegetables.

Cabardès is a relatively small red-and-rosé appellation in the hills north of Carcassonne. Its catchment area is on the climatic border between balmy Languedoc-Roussillon and the more inclement South-West, in the foothills of the Montagne Noir. This double identity is manifested in the grape varieties which make up the appellation's wines: Grenache and Syrah from the SE; Cabernets Franc and Sauvignon, and Merlot, from the SW/Bordeaux. The result is some genuinely unique wines, the majority of which are red.

‘At this price it's a steal!’

This is a deliciously fresh and appetizing rosé, made from Nero d'Avola grapes picked a week or so before the harvest for Purato's red wine. The early picking means just a tinge more acidity, to keep the fruit flavours in the wine bright and focused.

The Purato brand has delivered great wines for more than ten years, at the same time as meeting rigorous environmental standards. The wines are organic, with the IT- BIO certification on every bottle, while the packaging, from bottles to shipping cartons, is as recycled and recyclable as possible. That's why the winery describe these as wines ‘with a conscience’.

Ruby red Pinot Noir, with spicy aromas of cherries and strawberries. Those aromas carry on into generous, assertive red fruit flavours, shaped by fresh acidity and supple, smooth tannins.

Ageing in old French oak barrels adds to the texture and a little to the spicy complexity of this appealing and versatile red from the cool climate growing area of Chile's Casablanca Valley.

A vibrant golden Chardonnay from the cool-climate vineyards of the Casablanca Valley, with aromas of tropical fruit, citrus and almond.

Generous, silky texture wraps up ripe, peachy fruit, and fresh acidity keeping the zesty flavours of each sip bright and lingering.
