Anciano ‘Aged 7 Years’ Gran Reserva Valdepenas Tempranillo

There’s never been a better time to load up your stocks with amazing value imported reds and this will not disappoint! Simply crazy value for a well aged, mature European red – we were sure there was a pricing mistake going on here but we’re happy to confirm there isn’t!

Spanish Tempranillo (pronounced temp-rah-knee-oh) from 30 year old vines with 18 months aging in American oak – this is a medium to full bodied, smooth red that’s mellowed nicely thanks to its age. It’s a wine sourced by a Master of Wine (a bloke called Norrel Robertson) and imported into NZ by another (Steve Bennett). Heck, it even looks flash in its traditional European label and fancy gold wire wrap!

A steal for a snip under twenty bucks. They’ve done the hard work and aged it perfectly for you, all you need to do is hook in and enjoy it with red meats and mature cheeses.
