Garnacha Tinto, Cruz de Piedra Calatayud
Great value, old-vine Garnacha with dense, spicy cherry, damson and liquorice flavours; great with duck.
The 60 to 100-year-old untrained bushvines at 'Cruz de Piedra' ('stone crosses' marking the Pilgrims' Road to St. Juan de Compostela) are bursting with health. High in the Calatayud mountains, southeast of Rioja, they enjoy heat well into autumn, delivering grapes with super ripe flavours. Yields are low but so are overheads at the modern Virgen de Sierra co-op winery in Villaroya, making this big red a bargain.

This warm, spicy wine, with its ripe redcurrant fruit and peppery, herby hints, excels with casseroles.
