ARAGON

 

REINO DE LOS MALLOS

This winery is in the village of Murillo del Gallego and takes its name from the huge jutting rock formations of Aguero and Riglos, the “kingdom of the mountains”, the foothills of the Pyrenees. A bold, slightly sweaty, blend of Cabernet, Merlot and Garnacha.

CARIÑENA

A sub-section of Aragon with its own Official Denomination (D.O).

 

PIQUER

From the foothills of the Pyrenees we bring you an excellent, characterful red by Manuel Piquer in hot, dry Muel. This old-vine Grenache is made without a hint of oak to let the fruit shine through. Our shop was over-run when Manuel visited The Winery with a posse of 14 family members recently.

CHAPILLON

Christophe Chapillon is the (surprisingly) French man who, while working at 200 Monges in Rioja, introduced us to our phenomenally popular Spanish red “Lelia”. He recently sourced some old vine Syrah and Merlot, and asked Manuel Piquer, the wine-maker of Lelia, to make it for him. Something of a maverick businessman, Christophe now lives in Zaragoza with his Spanish wife and is very pleased to have named this wine after himself.
