Clos de Gat Har'El Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
The excellent 2019 vintage clearly reflects the terroir characteristics inherent in the HAREL wines of Clos de Gat. The wine has a beautiful deep black red colour with purple tints. On the nose, it reveals aromas of black and red fruits which are enhanced by notes of discreet oaking and earthy Mediterranean plants and herbs. On the palate, the wine is full bodied, well balanced with fine integrated tannins. The finish is long, complex and elegant. Food Pairing: Perfect with grilled and roasted meats, casseroles and hard cheeses.
Roda Sela Rioja 2023
Bodegas Roda Sela is a refined expression of Rioja Alta, crafted from old bush vines of Tempranillo, Graciano, and Garnacha planted near the historic town of Haro. Low yields, careful hand-harvesting, and 12 months in French oak make this a wine of real elegance and concentration — a step up from everyday Rioja without stepping away from what makes the region great. Why You'll Love It Introduced in 2008, Sela has quickly become a benchmark for carefully crafted Rioja Alta. Bodegas Roda's philosophy centres on balance, elegance, and terroir expression — and this wine delivers all three. If you're looking for a Rioja that rewards attention without demanding it, this is it. Sustainably farmed, with minimal intervention in the winery. Vineyard & Production Sourced from 15–30-year-old bush vines whose low yields encourage phenolic maturity and concentrated aromatics. Grapes are hand-harvested, destemmed, and gently crushed before 19 days of maceration. The wine then spends 12 months in 100% semi-new French oak barrels, allowing fruit and oak to integrate seamlessly before bottling. Tasting Notes Bright ruby with layered red hues. The nose is intense and expressive — cherry, red berry, and hints of black fruit, with subtle mineral and oak notes. On the palate, the wine is wide and voluminous, with fine, well-structured tannins, ripe fruit concentration, and a long, persistent finish. Perfect Pairings Best served at room temperature alongside rich, flavourful dishes. Think roasted venison, beef fillet, slow-cooked lamb shoulder, or hearty stews. Also excellent with aged hard cheeses and charcuterie. The Blend Tempranillo 94%, Graciano 3%, Garnacha 3% — DOCa Rioja Alta, Spain. Hand-harvested. 75cl bottle.
