In the glass

Rose petals and red cherry from hundred-year-old vines in north-west Spain - lighter and more perfumed than most Spanish reds.

A perfumed, juicy red from the village of Valtuille in Bierzo, north-west Spain, made from old bush vines, some more than a hundred years old. Rose petal and pomegranate on the nose, then red cherry, raspberry and a touch of liquorice. Fresh and lively at 12.5% alcohol.
