Schreiner Blaufrankisch (1 L)

There is something slightly absurd about a wine of this elegance and class being put into a cheap screw-top liter bottle and then essentially given away. Every Schreiner virtue is there: silky texture, bright and crunchy berry flavour shot through with an iron tone, and a stubbornly long finish.

Certified Organic and a liter.

Torremilanos Montecastrillo Red

Pablo Penalba Lopez acquired Finca Torremilanos back in 1975. Prior to him they had mostly sold bulk grapes, but he wanted to start making their own estate wine. In the early 2000s his son Ricardo took over and changed the farming to all organic and biodynamic techniques.
