This is the créme de la créme of Spanish table wine, a well balanced wine but one that is slightly slower to develop then the previous vintage and as such is more closed. Peter Sisseck is the wine maker at this Bodega and he is a firm believer in putting elegance before anything else. He is a young man who was born in Denmark and is hailed as a genius in the vineyard. He has been producing astonishing results in a very short period of time. Yields are very low, the wines are very concentrated, allocation is tiny. The Crianza and Reserva wines are made from ancient Tempranillo vines, and all in all this is probably the best Spanish wine you could buy from the 2004 vintage.

It was once thought that port was invented in the 18th century by English merchants who were looking to replace the French wines that were no longer available to them. It was also thought it was invented by someone adding alcohol to wine to cover up its harsh taste. And there is also a theory that it was invented by the Abbot of Lamego in the Douro valley in 1678.
