From star Spanish winemaker Telmo Rodriguez and friend Pablo Eguzkiza comes this sappy, juicy bush-vine Tempranillo, fermented in concrete vats then aged in French oak barrels for 14 months. It's concentrated, mellow and spicy with savoury wild strawberry fruit. The Contino 2015 for £25 is also delicious if you want to trade up.
