"Castilla y León makes some of the most distinctive red wines in Spain, many of them based on the Tempranillo grape. I really enjoyed sampling a range to choose the wines for this tasting. Representing the area’s three most famous red wine denominaciones de origen - Ribera del Duero, Toro and Bierzo - these are a Tempranillo (or Tinto de Toro), a Mencía and a high-altitude cuvée of Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon. I can’t wait to share them with you." says Tim.

Tim will be chatting to the team behind each wine and finding out what makes them so special. When you book you will receive a bottle of each of the following sought-after wines:

Jose Antonio García Aires de Vendimia Mencía de Valtuille 2018, Bierzo

"Made by José Antonio García, one of the rising stars of Bierzo, this superb old-vine blend of Mencía with 4% of other co-planted red and white varieties has lovely stemmy complexity from 100% whole bunches, graceful tannins, sweet wild strawberry fruit and levels of complexity that wouldn't look out of place in a Premier Cru Burgundy. 96 points"

Dominio Basconcillos Viña Magna Crianza 2017, Ribera del Duero

"Combining Tinto Fino with 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, both from one of the coolest sites in Burgos, this is a superbly balanced Ribera that spends 14 months in new wood, but has the structure to cope. Polished and refined, with mint, cassis and chocolate flavours and racy, palate-cleansing acidity. 93 points"

Elías Mora Crianza 2016, Toro

"This is ‘just’ a Crianza, but it has lovely perfume, balance and precision, with chalky freshness and brightness, fine-boned tannins, violet and red berry fruit and the subtlest dusting of French and American oak. Elegant, even at 15% alcohol. 92 points"
