| Duraton Syrah |
| Region: | Spain |
| Appellation: | Castilla y Leon |
| Varietal: | Syrah |
| Vintage: | 2003 |
100% Syrah hand-picked from the best plot in the vineyard, aged fourteen months in French oak. Reveals complex aromas on the nose, spicy with a background of very ripe red fruits, and a touch of grapefruit (a unique characteristic of its terroir). A warm, full palate of black fruits, with great structure and a long finish.

| Altos del Duraton |
| Region: | Spain |
| Appellation: | Castilla y Leon |
| Varietal: | Tempranillo |
| Vintage: | 2005 |
A great value from Castilla! 75% Tempranillo, 25% Syrah, aged nine months in French oak. Intensely fruity on the nose, but the ageing in oak has given the wine a fine structure. Rich in texture, not overly dry, with candied strawberry and black fruits, underlined by sweet vanilla and spice from the toasted oak.
