Description
Wines and Tapas for any occasion, whether celebrating with an elegant sparkling Cava or fine dining with the rich Reserva, this bundle is spot on every time.
Caballo Oscuro Reserva 2017
A rich full-bodied red wine aged in the barrel for 18 months. Over time the fresh fruit flavours of Garnacha become richer and with a longer ageing in American oak, a deeper complexity is added, with hints of spices and a certain smokiness.
The cooked fruitiness of an aged Garnacha dominates, with notes of mint, herbs and smoke from the ageing. The palate is fruity and soft, but with a good acidity and a powerful structure to give a long finish.
Caballo Oscuro Cava Brut Nature
A pale, straw yellow Sparkling White Wine. Exceptionally clear aromas of peaches and apricots, with touches of freshly-baked bread. Luscious, well-balanced palate, with a hint of honey. Excellent as an aperitif or with food. Serve well-chilled
Arturo Sánchez Jamón Ibérico de Bellota 50g
Jamon Ibérico de Bellota is a true gastronomic jewel, because each piece is unique: the union of the best raw material, the pure breed pig raised in the best dehesa fields, and the natural curing in our cellars in Guijuelo.
Time is of essence on a product like this: two years of living in freedom, in the dehesa fields, with two seasons to guarantee a double acorn-based feed and its healthy nutritional properties; then, a minimum of 48 months’ curing in Guijuelo, in natural drying sheds, where the cold, dry wind of the Béjar and Gredos mountains do the rest.
Arturo Sánchez Salchichón Ibérico de Bellota 50g
Made from acorn-fed, free-range pork blended with black peppercorns and cured for a minimum of 4 months in a natural casing in the fresh mountain air of Guijuelo. Savour thin slices of this tasty, cured sausage with a glass of fine wine.
Arturo Sánchez Chorizo Ibérico de Bellota 50g
Made from acorn-fed, free-range pork blended with smoked paprika and garlic, this chorizo is aged for a minimum of 4 months in the mountain air of Guijuelo in Salamanca. Enjoy thin slices of this delectable sausage with a glass of fine Spanish wine. The rich and flavourful chorizo will literally melt in your mouth!
Vega Gourmet Rosemary Sheep's Milk Cheese
To all intents and purposes this is a manchego made using exactly the same ingredients and techniques, it is the addition of a rosemary coating that means that this cannot be designated a manchego.
Made from pasteurised ewe’s milk and with 3 months ageing, the sheep are left to graze in the wild herbs of the La Mancha uplands giving this cheese its wonderful, herbaceous flavour and, complemented by the rosemary coating, its herby tang. Made by Vega Mancha who make our manchego, it is a small artisan producer.
Vega Mancha Cured Manchego Cheese D.O.P
Aged for 12 months, this Cured Manchego Vega Mancha has an intense nutty flavour with hints of caramel and fruit. Its has a hard, dense paste that comes from the ageing with a dryish texture and a complex, savoury finish. This cheese has the ‘Queso Manchego D.O.’ seal of authenticity, attesting to its high quality and provenance.
Large Spicy Gordal Olives
Ideal served as tapas, these pitted Gordal Olives are marinaded in brine with a little heat. What makes Gordal Olives so special is their firm, fleshy and crunchy texture and have been carefully selected from special harvests.
These olives are pitted which makes them a lovely crunchy, savoury mouthful. You can add your own dressings or chop into salads and sauces.
Mallorcan Rosemary Cheese Biscuits
A traditional product from Mallorca Galletes Marineras or Sailors Biscuits are an artisan biscuit which in the old days, seamen would take with them on their long trips around the Mediterranean Sea.
Since 1890, the Noceras family has been baking homemade Marineras, using their own secret recipe.
Made from olive oil and wild rosemary, our Rosemary Biscuits are perfect to accompany any Spanish charcuterie, cheeses and as part of any tapas.

Caballo Oscuro Reserva 2016 - A Legacy of the Ebro Valley
Embrace the richness of time with the Caballo Oscuro Reserva, a dry red wine that stands as a monument to the age-old traditions of Spanish winemaking. This Reserva is a harmonious composition, a reflection of the patient transformation of Garnacha grapes under the tempering influence of American oak.
Rooted in History: Tracing the lifeblood of northeast Spain, the Ebro river weaves through the heart of the nation's most illustrious wine-growing regions. This journey, which begins in the shadow of Rioja and unfolds through the diverse terroirs of Navarra, Campo de Borja, Calatayud, Cariñena, and down to the sun-kissed Mediterranean shores, has fostered vines that give birth to wines with stories to tell.
Evolution in a Bottle: The 2017 vintage captures the maturity of Garnacha, a varietal that deepens in character and complexity with time. Extended aging in American oak barrels bestows upon this Reserva a spectrum of sophisticated notes - from the spice of ancient markets to the subtle smokiness of a distant flame, creating a profile that intrigues and enchants.
Sensory Journey: This Reserva showcases the layered transformation of Garnacha, starting with a nose rich in cooked fruits that segues into a garden of mint and herbs, finally culminating in a gentle waft of smoke. The palate is a testament to balance: a soft, fruity entry, bolstered by a lively acidity and a robust structure, all converging into a long, commanding finish.
A Toast to Time: With an alcohol content of 14.5%, the Caballo Oscuro Reserva is a bold yet graceful companion to a myriad of culinary experiences, or a poignant pleasure when savored on its own. It's not just a wine; it's an odyssey that pays homage to the enduring spirit of Garnacha and the timeless craft of the winemaker's barrel.
Uncork the legacy of the Ebro valley with Caballo Oscuro Reserva and let each sip convey you through the annals of Spanish viticulture.
| ABV | 14.5 % |
| Year | 2017 |
| Tasting Notes | The Caballo Oscuro Reserva 2017 offers an alluring complexity with matured fruitiness and an elegant interplay of mint, herbaceousness, and a soft smokiness from its sojourn in American oak. The palate is graced with a harmonious blend of ripe fruit, poised acidity, and a substantial structure, leading to a satisfyingly extended finish. This Reserva is a true testament to the depth and sophistication achievable through the careful aging of fine Garnacha. |

Description
Overview:
Discover the exquisite blend of tradition and contemporary tastes with Caballo Oscuro Cava Brut Nature. Originating from the Penedès region of Spain, this Cava offers a distinct character, crafted through traditional bottle fermentation while seamlessly aligning with modern palates.
The Craftsmanship of Cava:
Caballo Oscuro Cava is meticulously crafted using three distinct grape varieties: Macabeo, Xarel·lo, and Parellada.
- Macabeo: Lends a crisp, acidic framework.
- Xarel·lo: Contributes body and fullness.
- Parellada: Infuses a captivating fruit personality.
These carefully chosen grapes are harmoniously blended to undergo a secondary fermentation in the bottle, aging for a minimum of 9 months. Over time, the decomposing yeasts, or "lees", enrich the wine with nuanced flavors.
Winemaking Process:
- Harvest: The grapes are delicately handpicked and transported in small crates to the winery.
- Fermentation: Each grape variety is fermented at 16-18ºC to create the base wine. The blend is then crafted, complemented with yeast and sugar, and bottled with a crown cap.
- Aging: The second fermentation unfolds in an underground cellar, followed by 12 months of aging on the lees.
- Finishing: The bottles are degorged to remove yeasts, and topped up with the same wine without any additional sugar.

Arturo Sanchez Jamon Iberico de Bellota 100%
Product information
£19.00
Description
This product is Arturo Sánchez’s soul. The pillar and foundation that has held this legendary Ibérico house since 1917: excellence, craft, honesty, tradition.
Jamon Ibérico de Bellota is a true gastronomic jewel, because each piece is unique: the union of the best raw material, the pure breed pig raised in the best dehesa fields, and the natural curing in our cellars in Guijuelo.
Time is of essence on a product like this: two years of living in freedom, in the dehesa fields, with two seasons to guarantee a double acorn-based feed and its healthy nutritional properties; then, a minimum of 48 months’ curing in Guijuelo, in natural drying sheds, where the cold, dry wind of the Béjar and Gredos mountains do the rest.
Every day is different, a true challenge, and only the deepest knowledge gathered over more than a century of experience by a family who loves their work can guarantee that the 100% Iberian cured acorn ham that reaches your table is unique among the Iberian hams: the essence of a pure, balanced, full flavour. Unforgettable.
HOW TO SERVE JAMÓN IBÉRICO DE BELLOTA?
Iberico ham should be ideally served at a temperature of around 20 degrees Celsius. The reason behind this, is because the ham contains oleic acid which is activated when the ham reaches a temperature of 15 degrees celsius or more. This acid breaks the meat cells making the meat shine and sweat, releasing the full aromas and flavours of the ham. \n \nTo serve Arturo Sanchez Jamón Ibérico de Bellota, open the pack and allow the ham to breathe for 30 minutes, just like a bottle good wine. Serve on a warm plate so the ham reaches the ideal serving temperature, and the oleic acid gets activated. \n \nTip – you can run the pack under hot water for a few minutes, pat dry with a towel and lay the slices of ham spreading them evenly. \n \nThe best partner to our acorn-fed ibérico ham with good quality crusty bread and a fine wine.
HOW TO STORE JAMÓN IBÉRICO DE BELLOTA?
Our Jamón Ibérico de Bellota comes already sliced in a vacuum-packed tray. Keep refrigerated between 0 and 6 ºC. Keep in the refrigerator for up to 12 months unopened. Once opened, you can use the resealable plastic pouch to seal it and use within 1 week.INGREDIENTS
