Festive Luxury Hamper

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.

Caballo Oscuro Viura Chardonnay 2022 - A Harmonious Blend from the Ebro Valley

Step into the essence of the Carinena region with the Caballo Oscuro Viura Chardonnay, a dry white wine that artfully balances tradition with a modern twist. This blend is a testament to the synergy between the crisp Viura, the opulent Chardonnay, and the perfumed whispers of Muscat.

Viticultural Voyage: Navigating through the fertile expanses of the Ebro Valley, this wine is a child of the river that nourishes some of Spain's most diverse viticultural areas. From the celebrated Rioja to the coastal caress of Tarragona, the Ebro's influence is as varied as it is profound, lending this wine its distinct sense of place.

Crafting Balance: The Viura's innate acidity provides a backbone, a canvas primed for the rich strokes of Chardonnay which lend body and depth. Meanwhile, Muscat's floral notes flirt with the senses, creating a blend that is both structured and delightfully aromatic.

Vintage Character: In 2022 we once again saw a relatively mild winter and rainy spring, but then there was very little rain for the whole of a very long, hot summer so the harvest was a fortnight earlier than usual, of healthy, properly ripened grapes.

A Sensory Mosaic: Delight in the bouquet of ripe fruits, where pineapple and peach are adorned with jasmine and a hint of greenery. The palate is rewarded with the substance of old bush vines, the zest of trellised Viura, and a hint of Muscat's fragrance, culminating in a wine that is both sumptuous and invigorating.

A Toast to Conscious Enjoyment: With an alcohol content of 12.5%, and vegan-friendly credentials, the Caballo Oscuro Viura Chardonnay is crafted for those who seek pleasure in purity. Serve well-chilled to elevate any occasion, from a casual gathering to a refined culinary experience.

Indulge in the Caballo Oscuro Viura Chardonnay, where every glass poured is an ode to the rich tapestry of Spanish winemaking.

Caballo Oscuro Garnacha Rosé 2022 - The Epitome of Dry Rosé Elegance

Step into a realm where the delicate meets the dynamic with the Caballo Oscuro Garnacha Rosé. This dry Rosé wine captures the essence of the Garnacha grape, a traditional varietal that flourishes along the fertile banks of the Ebro Valley. Its ability to traverse the spectrum from light and airy to rich and robust is showcased through a meticulous winemaking process where the skins impart their color for mere minutes, resulting in a beautifully faint yet enchanting rosé hue.

A Journey Along the Ebro: The Ebro River, a lifeline to the Mediterranean, nourishes a diversity of wine-growing regions with its precious waters. From the renowned Rioja to the storied lands of Navarra, Campo de Borja, Calatayud, Cariñena, and beyond, this river supports the creation of wines that are as varied as the landscapes they hail from.

The Character of the 2022 Vintage: In 2022 we once again saw a relatively mild winter and rainy spring, but then there was very little rain for the whole of a very long, hot summer so the harvest was a fortnight earlier than usual, of healthy, properly ripened grapes.

Sensory Invitation: The Caballo Oscuro Garnacha Rosé is a visual poetry with its pale pink allure and violet whispers. Its bouquet is a celebration of spring, with strawberries and blooms in the air, followed by a subtle creamy undertone. On the palate, it greets you with a crisp acidity that enlivens the senses, carrying forth a bounty of fruit with a delightful persistence. A quintessential summer companion, this Rosé promises to bring a refreshing zest to any gathering.

Invite tradition to your table and create unforgettable moments with Arturo Sánchez Iberico Ham—your slice of Spanish heritage.

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.
