FINCA LA SARDA- Navarra -Baron de Managa As early as 1968 the Magana brothers felt that the use of Bordeaux grape varieties had great potential in Navarra.

The wines receive only an average of one year in barrel before being bottled where they will mature for up to five years before release. | 1997 | £116.00 |

GRAN CLOS - Priorat -Limited Joseph Maria Fuentes' philosophy is to get as much expression out of the terroir as possible using mostly native varieties and this tiny production wine (only 8,000 bottles) is made from vines with anaverage age of 60 years, planted high in the hills on slate soils. The wine is made from Grenache, Carinena and a little Cabernat Sauvignon and is aged for about twelve months in a mixture of new and one year old French and American oak. | 1997 | £292.00 |
