My Reserva needs a home ... fast. Can you help?”

Seven years’ ageing ... satin smooth ... from nine-time World Top 50 winery ... JUST £40 reserves you a case

When Martínez Bujanda’s number flashes up on the phone, our buyer, Beth, drops whatever she’s doing at once.

Since Tony Laithwaite introduced this bodega to the UK 30 years ago, they’ve become Rioja royalty ... and a World Top 50 winery nine years in a row.

But even they can get caught on the hop by a massive harvest like 2019. And today that gives Rioja lovers a very special opportunity indeed.

You see, to clear space, winemaker Antonio offered Beth a parcel of his best, aged Rioja ... slated for Gran Reserva status ... at a price we couldn’t believe.

In exchange for just putting “Reserva” on the label (their Gran Reservas sell for £22-a-bottle plus) Antonio is letting you reserve a case of 12 bottles for JUST £40.

Better still, when this 2013 Reserva arrives in April, you’ll be automatically debited a balance of just £79.88.

Meaning you’ll be sipping a gorgeous, classic, dark-berry fruited and oakspiced Rioja ... from one of the top bodegas in the region ... with seven years of ageing ... for JUST £9.99 a bottle.
