Spanish Collector Wines

Picture an amazing vacation in Spain. The gorgeous beaches, where the sun massages and the horizon seamlessly connects the sea and sky, as if in a dream. The awe-inspiring countryside, where you can smell the grass even from a vehicle, and you stare through the window at the endless patches of green, disappearing into the distance. Or even better – the absolutely heavenly wine you indulge in with some friends, sampling it alongside traditional Spanish dishes while listening to a playful guitar in the middle of town and absorbing the culture of these wonderful people. Now imagine if you could carry those emotions back home with you in a bottle, and place that bottle alongside many others, each containing a breathtaking sample of another part of the world. That’s what wine collecting feels like – powerful memories and strong feelings, all demonstrated through exceptional winemaking.

Spain has a lot of wine to offer for a curious collector. A bottle of fine, crisp Rioja Gran Reserva to keep you company for years to come and inspire new conquests and new experiences. Some lush, gorgeous Albariño you can drink right now, and for another five years, just in case your eagerness gets the better of you. We understand, of course – who wouldn’t be giddy with excitement to uncork a couple of these fine bottles? It’s as though everywhere you look, another beautiful blend calls to you, like a songbird weaving beautiful poetry from the treetops, trying its best to stand out. There are no words for the strength and aroma of Spain’s best works, no linguistic construct that paints a truly accurate picture of how emotionally satisfying it is to drink these wines.

If you’re looking for only the finest blends Spain has to offer, we’re here to help. As an established wine retailer, we strive to bring together wine-lovers and excellent wines, not unlike how Cupid creates love out of thin air. Join us, as we present to you wines that could bring a joyful tear to the eye of even the harshest critics, and turn even a lukewarm get-together into a party that will be talked about for years to come.

2017 pingus Spain Red

The brightness and intensity here is fantastic with density and firmness that is most impressive. Squared-off tannins give this classicism and beauty. Full body. Extremely long and powerful. One to watch.James Suckling | 97-98 JSDark, bright-rimmed purple. Powerful red and dark berry preserve and cherry cola scents are complemented by exotic spice, incense and floral oil notes. Sappy and densely packed, offering palate-staining black raspberry, cherry liqueur, violet pastille and spicecake flavors braced by a core of juicy acidity. Youthfully chewy tannins build steadily on a strikingly long, penetrating finish that leaves behind smoky mineral and juicy dark berry notes.Vinous Media | 97 VMI also tasted the 2017 Pingus, which had a tough competition with the bottled 2016 and a barrel sample of the 2018 (and the fermenting 2019, but that doesn’t really count). 2017 was a weird vintage for the zone, as the year was marked by one spring frost that decimated the crop and completely changed the balance of the year. In 2007, they put a windmill in one of the plots, and although the plot was not able to escape the frost, it was not as acute as it was in the Flor de Pingus vineyards, where they lost up to 40% of the crop. At the Pingus vineyards, they lost some 25% of the grapes. They started the élevage in used barriques, where they wine matured for 12 months, and then moved the wine to larger barrels so they could extend the aging. There are alternate sensations of ripeness and herbal aromas. You can see a little bit of the tannic style of a concentrated year (1995, 2004, 2014), which is very different from fluid years like 2016 or 1996, with a rustic Ribera character. They saved the vintage with their knowledge of their vineyards, whereas in the past, a vintage like this could have been a disaster. Sometimes wines like this can have an unexpected development in bottle... 5,700 bottles were filled in July 2019.Robert Parker Wine Advocate | 96 RP
