Bodegas Verum

A Malbec with great elegance and class With serious concentration of black fruit and liquorice on the nose and good structure in the mouth, it has excellent acidity that gives it a unique freshness

Winemaker Elias Lopez describes this as "Spain's answer to Pinot Noir," and it's easy to see why With a unique and beautiful, transparent peach-rose colour, this is almost a rose wine, however it has concentration and complexity that's virtually never seen in rose It has classic red Burgundy aromas of ripe cherries, rosehips and earthy, leafy, 'woodland walk' nuances, alongside an alluringly fresh apricot character that is all of its own In the mouth, it is succulent and rounded, with surprising body for such pale colour, and yet such soft tannins as to be pretty much unnoticeable With a hauntingly long finish, this marvellous wine is drinking beautifully now and over the next 3-4 years at least This is crafted in the way Spanish wines used to be made before French got involved in the 19th Century It is aged underground in large clay 'tinajas'

A rich, full-bodied Chardonnay made in Alto Valle del Rio Negro, Patagonia by genius winemaker, Elias Lopez The vines were planted in 2002, and at 39˚ South, the climate is cool: leading to vibrant citrus flavours, and 11 months' ageing in 500 litre barrels brings additional nuances of vanilla, butter and caramel

From the Las Tinadas vineyard parcel planted in 1956, this masterpiece represents modern, elegant and truly unique fine winemaking It is fermented and then aged in a clay amphora for 12 months, followed by more than four years' maturation in bottle The result is stunning: incredible complexity of distinctive aromas, and, since no oak barrels are used, an exquisite purity of fruit Aromas of red berries and cherries stand out, with a subtle balsamic - almost minty - touch, alongside Mediterranean wild thyme and rosemary On the palate, it surprises with its silky structure, balanced acidity and pure fruit A long-lasting wine, with smooth tannins and subtle acidity that invite an immediate second sip

Probably the very finest Airen wine in the world "Who could imagine Airen could be this exciting," says Luis Gutierrez of The Wine Advocate White nectarine, peach, blanched almond and cider apple character Brisk, bright, lean and long Made by rising star winemaker, Elias Lopez Montero, whose grandparents recognised this parcel of vines as their best plot of Airen, this is from ungrafted vines - ie, grown on their own roots Organically farmed

Pale golden colour Complex aromas of cooking apple combined with toasted nuts and oatmeal biscuits, with a slight waxy character Good, rich, rounded character in the mouth, with more of that apple fruit character and an impression of blanched almonds, all held together well by finely-balanced acidity This is reminiscent of Vintage Champagne (without the bubbles) with a touch of Manzanilla Superb, complex and fascinating wine

Quite reminiscent of a Rioja Reserva, with distinct coconut oak character Full and rich, with ripe plummy fruit and deep, bass earth, dried herb and balsamic notes Highly recommended if you enjoy smooth, full-bodied wines like the Papale Oro, Unanime or Falernia Carmenere Gran Reserva
