About the wine
This seriously-special Tempranillo has been given the VIP treatment
- Antonio is the definition of artisan, passionately producing wines from his century old family vineyards and scooping up awards and accolades as he goes.
- Using some of the best old vines from his family vineyard, Antonio has gone all out on this rich and smooth Tempranillo, giving it the serious VIP treatment exclusively for Angels in new French oak barrels.
- Fresh red fruits along with plums, licorice and a nice tobacco and peppery finish, rounded off by a lovely lick of oak. This is foodie wine with dinner party written all over it and will stand up to the biggest, meatiest dish you can congure up.
- So treat yourself, gather some friends, grab a bottle (or two!) of Antonio's Especial, cook up a storm and bask in the glory of your mates.
Best before
Personally I think that it a year's time, well stored, this wine will be beyond spectacular. I think that it is fabulous now - but has a lot of potential that will start coming out in a year - you can safely keep this wine for 10 years and it will be excellent.
Serving advice
Open at room temperature - decant if possible - and leave to breathe for a couple of hours. It will be worth the effort!
Food match
Baby roast lamb - or a strong lamb stew with a tomato sauce base.

- With Angel support, we can help this ridiculously talented winemaker get back on his feet to start making exclusive new vintages just for you.
