Spanish Wine

Soft and approachable Trempanillo from the historic family-run Bodegas Roqueta in the Catalunyan Pyrenees.

Peter Sisseck's long awaited fino, produced following his purchase of Bodega San Francisco Javier in Jerez. This fino comes from Pago Balbaina which spans over 8ha.

Inky-dark in the glass, this is described by Juan Carlos as having a ‘Mediterranean’ personality. It lies directly opposite Valdeginés but benefits from the afternoon sun, making for a more forthright, muscular style. The nose has a certain meatiness and a herbal accent – thyme, and liquorice. The palate is mouth-filling and impressively potent, with powerful, yet marvellously fruit-coated tannins. As always, this needs bottle age, but will repay it handsomely.
