Full bodied Tempranillo to get you through the petering out of winter.

Whether you’re in the mood to splurge or sipping on a budget, we’ve got a Tempranillo for that! Both proudly from Spain, both absolutely delicious. This week’s Hi/Lo highlights two distinct expressions of the grape: a youthful, vibrant Rioja Alta and a bold, age-worthy Ribera del Duero.

hi 🍷
Briego Adalid Reserva 2017,
Bodegas Briego
Ribera del Duero, Spain
Drink now or hold for 10+ years, 14.5% abv
100% Tempranillo
$60
Tempranillo in its purest expression; the fruit is ripe red and black cherry with dried fig and raisins. Distinct notes of crushed violet petal, crushed vanilla bean and toasted coconut. Cedar spice, liquorice root and to***co leaf fuel the palate with an underlying presence of smoked meat. The wine is dry, full-bodied with firm and nicely integrated tannins.

lo 🍷
El Pedal Tempranillo 2021, 
Hermanos Hernaiz
Rioja Alta, Spain
Drink now or hold for 5+ years, 13.5% abv
100% Tempranillo
$30
A youthful, approachable expression of Tempranillo. The fruit is tart with ripe black & red cherries, blackberries, strawberries & black currants. There is a pleasant aroma of fresh cut violets with an underlying backbone of caramel and cinnamon. The wine is dry, medium-bodied, with a long length and refreshing acidity. This is the perfect wine to serve a touch chilled.

HIGH-END OR BUDGET FRIENDLY
BUT ALWAYS DELICIOUS

Our proprietor, Nelson Abreu, has listed some other great reasons for campaigning this petition. If you have the time and inclination, "click the pic" to read the petition.

NEW WINE with an ARTIST LABEL
Château Haut Rigal , Bordeaux

Brilliant blend of 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Sémillon. Attractive ripe melon and gooseberry with waxy notes and hints of minerality. Round profile, soft textured fruit unfolds over gravelly mineral notes that hold onto a long finish.

Order it when you dine-in, or buy it online

ARTIST LABEL
‘Soleil Blanc’ is the fruit of a meeting between winemaker-grower Marielle Baissas, and Catalan artist Jean-Philippe Henric, born in 1986 in Perpignan where he lives and works. He creates on different media and in different styles: paper, collage, canvas, ceramics, digital art, etc. Like his production, his inspirations are diverse, from Prehistoric art to Jean-Michel Basquiat, including cubism and arte Povera.

WINE TASTING EVENT:

We a super pleased to be able to bring you this next guest from Rioja, Spain. Daniel Velasco of Finca La Emperatriz. A historic vineyard once owned by the Empress of France, wife to Napoleón III (himself the creator of the “Cru” system in Bordeaux), at almost 600 metres above sea level in one of the coldest areas of Rioja. The very pebbly soils make it the ideal vineyard for producing fine, elegant, long and tasty wines with great cellaring potential; personality in its purest form.
