Bodegas Señorío de Arana, Viña Del Oja Rioja Reserva 2018

The 2018 Rioja Reserva from Viña del Oja displays a garnet-red hue with developing brick edges. Aromatically, it introduces a layered bouquet of dried cherry, red plum, leather, cedar, and subtle tobacco. On the palate, it's medium-full bodied with a smooth, refined texture, ripe red and dark fruit flavours harmonise with gentle spice and earthy elements. Silky tannins and vibrant acidity culminate in a lingering, savoury finish marked by hints of vanilla and tobacco. Crafted under the thoughtful stewardship of this Rioja Alavesa estate, the wine begins with a long aging period: roughly 18 months in American oak followed by extended bottle maturation. It's drinking beautifully now with grilled or roasted meats, mature cheese, or hearty stews.

Darling Cellars Old Bush Vines Cinsault 2021

Specially selected and handpicked from bush vines older than 30 years and matured in French oak barrels. A well-balanced red with a fruity palate, fresh acidity and good length.
