Cabernet is the latest trend in Spain. It ripens beautifully in the sunshine, producing intense flavours. Packed with ripe blackcurrant and cherry fruit, this lush 2016 is from Valencia, where arid vineyards emphasise that delicious intensity.

Cabernet lovers, take note! A great new source for this great grape, with a spicy Spanish twist. It’s not native to the country, of course, yet Cabernet Sauvignon loves the warm climate and produces delicious, juicy, ripe flavour. The de Lluna vineyards, at 600 metres above sea level, lie 30 miles from Valencia (where city folk from Madrid flock to in summer for relaxation). John Radford writes: “Spanish wine is more vibrant, happening and fascinating than it has ever been” (The New Spain), an opinion beautifully illustrated by this almost New World style Cabernet. Crafted by Maria Angeles Camara (the star winemaker behind our popular Palacio del Conde wines), it’s an ideal match with grilled or roasted red meats and perfect at a barbecue.
