This 3 pack contains one bottle of each wine:
2019 Quinta da Pedra Alta 'Pedra a Pedra' Tinto
Douro, Portugal
The 2019 Tinto is composed of a blend of 54% Touriga Nacional, 26% Touriga Franca, 18% Tinta Barroca and 2% Sousão. This is a classic, full-bodied Portuguese red with bold, spicy tones on the nose alongside big, ripe dark fruit notes like black currant and black plums, some strawberry and a hint of baking spice. On the palate, the dark fruits appear again along with a complex intermingling of dried fruit, tobacco, vanilla, mocha and savoury anise. Full-flavoured, approachable and fruit-driven with beautiful pillowy tannins, moderate acidity and a long, smooth finish. Perfect with grilled lamb, roast beef or hamburgers.
2018 Bodegas Viyuela Selección Tempranillo
Ribera del Duero, Spain
Aged 10 months in American and French oak barrels with another 12 months in bottle. The results are exactly what you would come to expect from a delicious Ribera with loads of ripe fruit quality and hints of vanilla and cocoa in the background. Wild berries, strawberries and plums are balanced between a well-integrated, but prominent, oak component and delicate florality. The nose is intense on this powerful, full-bodied dynamo but there's still a sense of freshness and suppleness to the texture. Length on the palate through a balanced finish. Ideal for pretty much any meats in any preparation - grilled, braised, stewed, roasted, seared, etc.
2014 Viña Valoria Rioja Reserva
Rioja, Spain
To be labelled Reserva it has to follow strict Rioja wine laws – aged for a minimum of 3 years including 12 months in oak (this one got all 36 months in American oak!). The result is truly classic Rioja with bold, powerful fruit mirrored by smoky, woody notes and wood spice. Firm tannins make this a perfect pairing with grilled flank steak and sautéed wild mushrooms.
