Jurgen is a young German chap who came to visit the Capcanes co-op some years ago..and never left. When I went there I nearly didn't too! It is so unusual to get such incredible quality from a co-op (Spanish or otherwise) that this place, and the wines, are utterly compelling. And the 2005 vintage is sweet as a nut!

This is another wine I wasn't looking for but couldn't ignore when I found it at a tasting in Mendoza. Very upsetting, put me right off schedule. But then it is really good and exceptional value, and someone once told me that I work for you! Outrageous.

The reason that we have this four star customer-rated Rioja as Something Special is, that it is special - despite the price. This has the classic rich, mellow, caramel oak that made Rioja famous - and it also has the strawberry and cream drinkability that the big Rioja brands lack and a very affordable price tag. You'll soon learn to ask for this by name. Superb with lamb.

You can always tell when a region is really promising by how much the land costs. Jumilla, in eastern Spain, has enjoyed rocketing prices recently. This is because it's now common knowledge that the region can produce stonking great wines. This is a sensational example.

We found Herve and his Fabre wines last year in Mendoza and bought his entire stock of Malbec. Clearly you lot love his wines as much as we do because you promptly bought them all. So we thought you'd appreciate trying the equally delicious Merlot. Wild berries, vanilla and coffee with a gorgeous velvety allure, this is massively classy gear and it seems we are just about the only ones on to it - yet.

Agustinos is the pet project of a stupendously wealthy Chilean gazillionaire, who set out to make super premium wines, using his capital, international winemaking expertise and the best equipment and grapes money can buy. By getting in on the ground floor, we have bought it at a price that is just, well, silly for the quality. Buy now before prices go up!

On a trip to Spain we discovered the amazing work of Victor Porter. With this wine you'll find the well executed combination of Spain's ancient winemaking history and Valencia's thriving modern winemaking technology. The result? Structure and complexity you'd expect to find in a Rioja Gran Reserva plus the soft fruitiness of a wine far younger in style. We very soon became addicted to this little number.
