The Wine
From a family that's been making fine Rioja for 140 years, Carlos Martínez Bujanda knows about great barrel-matured reds. His grandfather started in Rioja in 1884, and a century later, Carlos and his siblings built a state-of-the-art cellar. This is when Tony Laithwaite first met the family, loved the wines and brought them to the UK. They have since won a huge haul of awards and are world renowned for their great wines. In the 1990s, Carlos discovered the ancient vines of La Mancha. He was so impressed, he built a state-of-the-art winery, Finca Antigua, there and is producing exciting wines like this. It's a luscious blend of Merlot (60%), Cabernet and Syrah, intensely flavoured thanks to old bush vines and aged in barrel for two years.
