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.

2004 R. Lopez de Heredia Vina Tondonia Gran Reserva

The 2004 Viña Tondonia Gran Reserva didn’t stop growing and changing in the glass for the good three hours that lasted the tasting of the portfolio. I had tasted this wine on my previous visit (they don’t usually open future Gran Reserva vintages), and I was very impressed. This was aromatic (but took some time in the glass to open up), floral, perfumed, elegant and nuanced. The year was excellent, textbook, and the grapes from Viña Tondonia were picked from the 11th of October, the dates from yesteryear. I had the exceptional 2001 Parreno two weeks before I tasted this wine, and I found many similarities between both wines. It has complex notes of forest floor, truffle, wild herbs, spices and mushrooms and a touch of iodine. This is velvety, with super elegant tannins and a supple finish. It has clout and persistence, but there’s also something ethereal about it. It’s full of energy, light and power. This should be almost eternal. Bravo! 24,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in November 2018.Robert Parker Wine Advocate | 100 RPSuch a beautifully aged gran reserva that shows the more traditional side of Rioja. Dried blood orange peel, white pepper, dried thyme, iron, berries, minerals, black sesame seeds and old books. So bright and firm, with a full body and an extremely bright, lengthy finish. If I bought a bottle I’d still want to keep it for another few years. Drink or hold.James Suckling | 98 JSA Rioja time capsule: that is the feeling you’ll have when tasting the wines of López de Heredia, particularly the 2004 Gran Reserva Viña Tondonia. The 2004 is a blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha, Mazuelo and Graciano, cultivated on the meander of the Ebro River in Rioja Alta. Aged for ten years in barrel and an additional ten years in bottle, this bricked wine showcases dried black fruit, licorice, hazelnut and cedar nuances, along with resin, cola and garrigue. Dry and chalky, the silky and faintly juicy flow culminates with a long-lasting finish infused with thyme notes. This beautifully aged wine reflects old-school craftsmanship—it’s the essence of time and terroir.Vinous Media | 97 VM

2012 Marques de Murrieta Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial

So much dried flower, mushroom, iron, rust, sweet berry, and grilled orange. Full-bodied with very elegant and refined tannins that melt in the mouth and give a real sense of place and integrity. Balanced and harmonious. The finesse and finish is endless. Production was 30% less than in 2011. Already so drinkable. A wonderful future. This is the new 1934 or 1964, two legends. Drink or hold.James Suckling | 100 JS

2020 Casa Castillo Pie Franco, Spain Red

I had tasted the 2020 Pie Franco during its upbringing in barrel and couldn’t wait to taste the bottled version. The wine comes from the ungrafted Monastrell vines planted in 1942 by the current generation’s grandfather on a south-facing slope rich in limestone and gravels. In this dream vintage, they achieved a wine with 14.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.47 and almost five grams of tartaric acid per liter of wine. The wine matured in 500-liter oak barrels for 16 months. There is precision; it’s like laser cut, with symmetry and nuance, and it feels ethereal with lots of inner strength. It has the aromatic herbal notes but they are a lot subtler, and the wine is a lot more elegant and floral. The 2020s are wines of texture, silky, fine and elegant. This is the essence of the Mediterranean. Truly outstanding, world class, the best wine produced in the Mediterranean and the best wine from Casa Castillo ever. I was trying to find reminiscences with previous vintages, and it’s different from 2017 and 2018, maybe a mixture of the two, but overall the 2020s are unique and have a combination of Mediterranean character and freshness more intense than any other previous vintage. José María Vicente told me the only vintage that could be compared a little with the 2020 could be 2010. I’ve seen this wine evolve every year since the initial vintage of 1998 to reach world class. Bravo! 7,800 bottles were filled in February 2022.Robert Parker Wine Advocate | 100 RP
