Ribera del Duero makes some of Spain's finest wines. And priciest, but here our Buyer has bagged a terrific, one-off deal. It's declassified Ribera from a top estate, offered to you at crazily good price. Beautiful, ripe berry and spice complexity.

Ribera del Duero enjoyed an excellent vintage in 2015 - dry conditions produced small, well ripened grapes. This top estate, however, was short of cellar space and we've been the beneficiaries. A terrific one-off parcel of declassified Ribera at a remarkably low price. It's a highly reputed cellar, the wines of which easily go for £30 a bottle, surrounded by other top cellars in this high flying region. It's all Tempranillo (known as Tinto del Pais here) high grown on old bush vines, producing very small bunches of grapes. The tiny berries have intense flavours that have married beautifully with toasty vanilla from over a year's ageing in French and part new US oak. This top vintage red is best decanted an hour beforehand. Ideal with lamb.

"Grows in the glass, developing layers of complexity over time. Don't miss out on this remarkable red" Beth Willard
