See the word Shiraz on a label and you immediately think of a juicy red with full-on flavour. After all it’s the grape behind Australia's bold reds from the Barossa. But this one is from Spain, from steep vineyards 600 metres high and 30 miles inland from Valencia. While Spanish holidaymakers flock to Valencia’s beaches, the sunny arid hills further inland are a haven of calm where this varietal ripens to perfection, with cool nights lending balance and finesse. Winemaker Maria Angeles Camara’s deft touch ensures this ripe, intense red is gorgeously smooth but not overpowering. Previous vintages have secured top international medals and we expect the 2018 to follow suit. Perfect with spicy chorizo and bean stew, roast pork or sausages.
