Quality is at the heart of this wine. The producers only source from the finest growers who farm from some of the oldest vines in the world to concentrate the flavours.

Pagos del Rey ‘409’ Ribera del Duero

The wine was aged in oak for 409 days, hence its name, followed by several months in bottle. All that attention to detail has paid off – the 2020 vintage was awarded an excellent 92 points from top critic James Suckling. Its supple tannins and long, savoury finish make it an excellent match for red meats.

Château Batailley 'Lions de Batailley' Pauillac

This is the second wine of Château Batailley, one of the oldest estates in the Médoc, which gained a great reputation when it was recognised in the prestigious 1855 Bordeaux Classification as a Fifth Growth. Expect intense flavour, great structure and ripe tannins make this a perfect pairing for lamb.
