Acustic Cellars, Ritme, Priorat Blanco 2021, Catalonia, Spain

Gold medal winner Critics Choice

'A rich, lush wine with complex tropical fruits and an oily texture, along with a mineral tone throughout the palate.'
Jonathan Kleeman, Story Group.

'Outstanding concentration of stone fruit, fresh quince and poached pear, with white pepper, cinnamon and clove spice flourishing, and the oak adding some tonka bean and ginger rock and roll to it too.'
Miguel Crunia, Fìon.

£17.67 Size: 75cl Bibendum

Bodegas San Valero, Solareña, Barrel-Aged Tinto 2020, Aragon, Spain

Gold medal winner

'Punching way above its weight, this is a superstar at this price point.'
Jonathan Kleeman, Story Group.

'A beautiful fruit profile, some spice too, and a nice floral character. Very drinkable.'
Emma Denney, Claridge's.

'Attractive red fruit, with aniseed, clove and pepper. Good fluidity and concentration. This would fly off the bar top if sold by the glass.'
Miguel Crunia, Fìon.

£7.41 Size: 75cl Bibendum

El Escocés Volante, El Cismático, Garnacha 2019, Calatayud, Spain

Giancarlo Cuccuru, Lutyens Grill at The Ned.

'Elegant yet intense, with notes of red cherry and red liquorice, as well as a hint of balsamic vinegar, leading to some redcurrant and vanilla lift.'
Chris Parker, consultant sommelier.

Tandem, Inmune, Garnacha 2022, Navarra, Spain

Silver medal winner

'Extremely drinkable, with bright red florals, crunchy red fruit and subtle blood orange flavours, joined by warm spices and yellow citrus, with tropical fruits rounding out the palate. A chalky mineral backbone helps to give more body to this balanced, well made wine. Very good on its own, or paired with barbecue.'

£14.71 Size: 75cl Hallgarten & Novum Wines
