If you’re looking for something at the punchier end of the spectrum, this pure Tempranillo from Cigales in northwest Spain should deliver. The vines are grown in harsh conditions – very hot summers, very cold winters – and create concentrated, powerful wines as a result. It’s starting to take on some complexity after six years of age, this is delicious now but will develop further in bottle.

Wine CategoryPowerful, ripely fruited, oaky reds
Tasting NotesIntriguingly dark and shadowy, with wood smoke and vanilla on the nose. Very powerful palate, a great surge of blackberry, blackcurrant, wood smoke and spice. Powerfully tannic too, with a strong grip. This would easily stand up to a seared rib of beef. Attention-grabbing.
