Nana is a wine made from Albariño, from the oldest vineyard owned by the family, which is over 40 years old and entirely organic. Grapes are manually harvested and go through cold skin-contact maceration with dry ice. After pressing and selecting the flor must it goes through a cold settling process.

Sitta, Finca El Molinero

Elegant and silky, with fresh red cranberry and wild strawberry. On the palate, it is crisp, with refreshing cranberry and red cherry acidity. Pinot Meunier Elaborated from Finca “El Molino” in which red indigenous varieties are intermingled with Pinot Meunier. This is a tribute to Robustiano and Valdomero's grandfather and great-grandfathers who were millers (Meunier means miller in French). The wine is declassified, as it isn't using DO regulated varieties. The grapes in fact come from an ancient vineyard site, which is believed to be Pinot Meunier. This is truly unique and special wine. Hand harvesting, grape selection at the winery, extended maceration, natural malolactic fermentation and finished off for 12 months in French oak.

Cherries, redcurrant and plum. There are touches of cloves, vanilla and star anise. Tempranillo 90%, Garnacha 5% and Mazuelo 5% Fermented in large French oak vats, with malolactic fermentation allowed. Aged in Bordeaux style in 225L French and Eastern European oak barrels. Bottle aged for at least 18 months before release. Cherries, redcurrant and plum. There are touches of cloves, vanilla and star anise. Bodegas Perica Reserva "OLAGOSA" is a lovely approachable Rioja, the balance of fruit, oak and acidity is really refreshing considering the Riojan wines on the UK market are either fruit bombs or over oaked and the pricing is rarely in-line with the quality.

Olagosa Gran Reserva

Layer after layer of cranberry, cherry, chocolate bitters, herbs like thyme and rosemary all wrapped in soft tannins and vanilla from the oak. Tempranillo 90%, Garnacha 5% and Mazuelo 5% Hand harvested and fermented in French oak barrels, then moved to new and old 225 litre Bordeaux style barrels for 28 months before being bottled and cellared for 36 months. In our opinion the time and money invested into this wine makes it amazing value for money. It also means that the wine is released to market when it is ready to drink.  Bodegas Perica is a Family winery, established in 1912. They own over 140 acres of vineyards in the best areas of Rioja Alta. "Perica" was the nickname of David Garcia, the son of the founder of the bodega, who transformed the business from a supplier to the local area to membership of the Consejo Regulador Denominación de Origen Rioja, in 1950.
