Wine of the Week

1 March 2004

2000 La Riada Old Vines Garnacha
Spain
£4.99, Threshers and Wine Rack

This is smashing stuff – rich, deep, irresistibly juicy, packed with superripe cherry and strawberry fruit and gingered up with herbs. There are million upon million of old Garnacha vines in hinterland Spain. The more we drink of wines like this, the more they'll keep those ancient vines in the ground and not plant potatoes.
