Caballo Oscuro Reserva 2017
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 Ebro is the major river in the north-east of Spain and the largest river in Spain to run into the Mediterranean. Along its length there are many wine growing regions, starting with the region of Rioja below the city of Logroño. From there it flows through the lower part of Navarra and then on past Campo de Borja, Calatayud and Cariñena… way on down towards the Priorat, Tarragona and to the sea.
Tasting Notes of Caballo Oscuro Reserva: 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.
Alcohol 14.5%
Caballo Oscuro Old Vine Garnacha
The characteristics of Garnacha are its aromatic fruit, with a range that goes from fresh fruit to floral and perfumed. In the mouth the wines can be light, but also full of juicy flavour.
A dry red wine, deeper in colour than most Garnachas. Scents of fresh blackberries and cherries, together with a hint of black pepper. Full and rich in the mouth, with a long juicy finish, which holds its presence without astringent tannins. Serve at room temperature.

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 dry’ish texture and a complex, savoury finish. This cheese has the ‘Queso Manchego D.O.’ seal of authenticity, attesting to its high quality and provenance.
Salanort Boquerones in Vinegar
What is the difference between boquerones and anchovies?
Boquerones and anchovies are the same type of fish, the difference is that anchovies are heavily salted and boquerones are not. All boquerones are flash frozen soon after they are caught, to keep them at optimum freshness, then thawed and prepared. They are then chilled and packaged so that they arrive to you with pristine condition.
Freshly caught from the Cantabrico Sea and filleted by hand, these anchovies are marinated in extra virgin olive oil and white wine vinegar. The vinegar immediately pickles them, sealing in their fresh taste. Olive oil is added to introduce a smooth, silky flavour. They are not salty and have a much milder taste than traditional anchovies.
Boquerones are incredibly tasty, just serve them on crusty bread with piquillo peppers or alone with chopped garlic and parsley. Add them to salads or simply skewer them with a pickled guindilla and an olive and serve to guests as a tasty tapa. Boquerones are the perfect pairing to a cold beer.
Corredor Pitted Gordal Olives
Ideal served as tapas, these pitted Gordal Olives are marinaded in brine. 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.
La Chinata Venison Pate with Pedro Ximinez
La Chinata venison pate with Pedro Ximenez is a delicious and healthy pate that combines the exquisite taste of venison, a classic in the gourmet world, with Pedro Ximenez sherry, a velvety-sweet sherry used very often in Mediterranean cooking.
This pate is highly recommended as a snack, as part of tapas or with a selection of cured meats and cheeses. Just spread on toasted bread, as it has a very soft and tasty texture, or with our Mallorcan rosemary biscuits. \n \nIt is recommended to serve the pate slightly cold if it is going to be spread on bread. Our Venison Pate with Pedro Ximenez combines perfectly with a glass of dry sherry or a full bodied red wine.

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.

This Reserva is a true testament to the depth and sophistication achievable through the careful aging of fine Garnacha. |

Caballo Oscuro Old Vine Garnacha 2022 - A Testament to Timeless Terroir
Step into the essence of the Ebro valley with the Caballo Oscuro Old Vine Garnacha 2018, a dry red wine that is both a tribute to its storied origins and a celebration of vinicultural artistry. Sourced from venerable vines that have witnessed the passage of time, this Garnacha is a deep dive into the soul of Spain's most cherished wine regions.
From the Heart of the Ebro: Meandering through the landscape of northeastern Spain, the Ebro river is a lifeline for a mosaic of wine-growing regions known for their Garnacha. From the hallowed soils of Rioja to the storied terrains of Navarra and beyond, the river's journey through these lands has given rise to wines that encapsulate the vibrancy and spirit of the Mediterranean.
Vintage Virtues: 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 Palette of Flavors: In the glass, the Caballo Oscuro Old Vine Garnacha exhibits a deep, penetrating red, signaling the concentrated hues from old vines. Approach the bouquet and be captivated by robust scents of fresh blackberries and ripe cherries, punctuated by a peppery spice that beckons further exploration. The palate is greeted with a full-bodied richness, where the lush fruit leads the charge towards a broad, yet finely structured flavor profile. Each sip concludes with a long, juicy finish that lingers with intent, a testament to the wine's graceful maturity without the intrusion of harsh tannins.
Imbibe with Intention: At 14% alcohol, this Old Vine Garnacha stands as a robust yet accessible red, ready to elevate any dining experience or to be savored on its own. It's a wine that respects its lineage, embodies its environment, and promises to be as enduring as the ancient vines it hails from.
Indulge in the Caballo Oscuro Old Vine Garnacha and uncork a bottle of history, one that flows as richly as the river that nourishes its roots.
| ABV | 14.0 % |
| Year | 2022 |
| Tasting Notes | The Caballo Oscuro Old Vine Garnacha 2022 elegantly captures the essence of its ancient terroir. It offers a vibrant tapestry of deep red hues, layered aromas of ripe blackberries, cherries, and a whisper of black pepper. On the palate, it delivers a full-bodied richness with a pronounced fruit presence leading to a broad palate and a finish that is both long and juicily persistent, sans astringency. This wine stands as a robust homage to the timeless Garnacha grape, a delightful addition to any table or collection. |

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
