The Bodega Rioja Alta is a piece of Riojan living history and at the same time a history of Spanish wines past, present and future. No exaggeration. When it comes to true classics, we cannot think of any substitute for their wines, which are very obviously old style, but we would point out that this is the starting point from which many other...

Another Selectus Wines raid through the front door into the magical essence of the fabulous wines of Priorat, this time those of Celler Mas Doix. Although they have a wonderful wine history behind them, the journey having started with the Doix family five generations ago, they “reinvented” their wines in 1998 when they joined forces with the...

Fernando Rémirez de Ganuza’s wines have already been tasted and rated in the past by Selectus Wines but we will never tire of saying how much we love them and how well defined they all are.
