The forgotten region of Arlanza, just down the road from Ribera del Duero, was all but abandoned by vine growers in the early 20th century as they headed to the cities to work. The vines they left behind are now among the oldest in Spain and a new generation of winemakers, including the renowned duo Juan Antonia Leza and David Gonzalez, is seeing their amazing potential. Las Chorlas takes its name from a bird native to the region. Its vineyards lie at 600 to 700 metres altitude on the Castillian plain that dominates central Spain, so great freshness is one of its key attributes. Take time to decant this rich red and let it breathe and you will be rewarded with flavours or intense ripe fruit, spice and excellent length. Top choice with lamb.
