Experience The Guv'nor VIP: an exclusive blend from Spain's finest wine regions

The Guv'nor is our best-selling red wine, and it's no surprise why – its bold flavours and unique blending approach have won over wine lovers everywhere. And now, we've taken it up a notch with the Guv'nor VIP. Through the selection of the best grapes from three renowned Spanish wine regions and meticulous oak ageing, this exclusive red offers an even smoother, fruitier, and more luxurious taste – just in time for barbecue season.

The Guv'nor philosophy: ripping up the Spanish wine rule book

The Guv'nor is known for defying conventions and crafting distinctive wines with bold flavours. The VIP edition pushes these boundaries even further by blending grapes from three renowned Spanish regions: Rioja, Ribera del Duero, and Toro. The Guv'nor VIP has enhanced the ageing process using a combination of new-and-old American oak barrels, resulting in a more complex and smooth taste. The Guv'nor tossed the wine rule book aside, taking away vintages, classifications, and restrictions, and the VIP edition has added a fresh chapter, pushing traditional Spanish boundaries by championing an innovative, adventurous approach to winemaking.

Three revered regions, one exceptional blend

The VIP is a decadent blend of 100% Tempranillo grapes from three of Spain's most revered wine regions: Rioja, Ribera del Duero, and Toro. Each region brings its own unique character to the blend, resulting in layers of complex flavours. The Rioja grapes, sourced from some of the best vineyards in the region, lend a silky texture and elegant notes of red fruit. The Ribera del Duero region, which boasts some of the oldest Tempranillo vines in the world, offers depth and intensity with hints of blackberry and violet. Finally, the Toro region's high altitude and extreme climate produce powerful and structured wines, delivering a bold, spicy character. With each sip of the Guv'nor VIP, you'll experience the distinct character of each of these fantastic regions.

The ultimate BBQ red

This is the ideal red wine for summer entertaining, with its vibrant flavours of black cherry, blackberry, and red plum, balanced with a hint of savoury oak and mellow spice. Its silky-smooth texture makes it the perfect pairing for your favourite Spanish-inspired grilled meats, such as chorizo, grilled pork ribs, and marinated chicken. For vegetarian options, try pairing it with hearty Spanish dishes like paella or roasted vegetables with a sprinkle of smoked paprika. And if you're a cheese lover, its bold flavours are sure to complement rich and strong Spanish cheeses such as Manchego or Cabrales. So whether you're firing up the grill for a backyard BBQ or simply relaxing with friends, make sure to have a bottle of the Guv'nor VIP on hand to elevate your meal and create an unforgettable dining experience.
