Bodega Cerron Los Yesares Monastrell 2023 75cl
£47.75
This has an awesome, complex aroma that blends fruity, leafy, spicy and savoury nuances - just wonderful In the mouth it's very pure and very fresh, with satisfying weight and breadth of texture, which don't sacrifice an ounce of the vibrancy which characterises Bodega Cerron wines It has astonishing force of personality and persistence on the palate of both flavour and texture, finishing with complex hints of gaminess, liquorice and dill seed SO exciting! Los Yesares are 4 different old, ungrafted vineyards in Las Pedreras-Reventones, a high-altitude location where the district's most historic vineyards were located Steep slopes, deep calcareous sands and gravels, diverse orientations and Mediterranean forest create a more tense Monastrell profile with red forest and hedgerow fruit character, and wines capable of ageing
Bodega Cerron Monastrell Remordimiento 2025 75cl
£17.04
This wine shows the elegance of which Monastrell is capable, from the Mediterranean influence on the south-facing vineyards It has an approachable red fruit character, alongside hints of aromatic herbs Balanced and smooth on the palate, the flavours are pure and refined, with mineral hints It represents perfectly the style of the village of origin and its landscape 'Remordimiento' means 'remorse' - not implying this is how you'll feel after drinking it, but because Juanjo and Carlos Cerdan's parents had started out making a different type of wine before realising the error of their ways and making this style that is properly suited to their region
Bodega Cerron Matas Altas Monastrell 2024 75cl
£24.18
Wow! This has super-expressive, vibrant aromas, with notes of rosewater, just-ground black pepper, subtle woodiness and abundant, juicy fruitiness Bright, sparky, frank and vibrant, it is both a refreshing drink and a medium-bodied, nuanced wine worth the honour of contemplation and appreciation 'Matas' is slang for 'bush' in the region - in other words, old vines, planted on their own rootstocks (not grafted) Altas reflects the high elevation of the Fuente-Alamo area, whose calcareous soils, warm days and cold nights bring about wines with full ripeness and concentration, and at the same time, freshness, agility and finesse

£90.14
A wine that defies expectations, La Calera del Escaramujo has the finesse, balance and concentration of Grand Cru Burgundy With a glowing, vivid ruby colour, it has astonishing intensity and freshness of aroma The 2020 is readier to drink than the 2021, with riper fruit and complex, toasty, savoury and meaty characteristics It opens up to a lovely, sumptuous fruitiness, and a softer, plusher, more developed texture Truly lovely to drink already, it should keep going until 2030 at least It comes from a 167 hectare ungrafted Monastrell vineyard at 900-960m elevation, which had been abandoned for 20 years due to the difficult access and the complicated work involved in cultivating its steep slope In recognition of its outstanding potential, Juanjo and Carlos Cerdan began nursing its venerable vines back into production in 2011
