España Profunda
Deep Spain. Four bottles from producers who answer to nobody but the vine.
Spain’s most exciting wines don’t come from its most famous addresses.
They come from obsessive producers working in places the wine world is still catching up to — Bierzo, Jumilla, the high-altitude Garnacha country of Aragón — making wines of startling depth and personality at prices that feel almost impolite. This pack is four of the best of them.
The Bottles
El Esocés Volante 2020 El Cismático Old Vine Garnacha
Aragón · Old Vine Garnacha · 2020 · Norrel Robertson MW
The Scotsman in Aragón — and the most thrilling bottle in this pack
The Flying Scotsman — Norrel Robertson MW — left Scotland, fell in love with old-vine Spanish Garnacha, and never looked back. El Cismático comes from ancient bush vines in the high country of Aragón, and it is a genuinely extraordinary wine — perfumed and pure with wild strawberry, dried violet, iron and a minerality that stops you mid-sentence. This is Garnacha at its most aristocratic, from a producer who understands the grape better than almost anyone working in Spain today.
Raúl Pérez 2019 Bierzo Tinto Ultreia St. Jacques
Bierzo · Mencía · 2019 · Raúl Pérez
Spain’s most celebrated winemaker. In one of Spain’s most exciting regions.
Raúl Pérez is to Bierzo what Lalou Bize-Leroy is to Burgundy — a singular, visionary producer whose touch transforms everything he makes. Ultreia St. Jacques draws from old Mencía vines on the steep slate slopes above the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela, producing a wine of haunting elegance — red cherry, crushed stone, wild herbs and a silky precision that belies the grape’s rustic reputation. At this price, it is frankly a scandal.
Bodegas Muga 2018 Reserva Rioja 375mL
Rioja · Tempranillo blend · 2018 · Bodegas Muga · 375mL
The classic. Because every great pack needs one.
If El Esocés is the revelation and Raúl Pérez is the discovery, Muga is the institution — one of Rioja’s most respected and consistently excellent producers, making traditional wine with genuine conviction. The 2018 Reserva shows everything that makes Muga great: Tempranillo with real elegance, aged in American and French oak, with cherry, vanilla, leather and a structure that is firmly traditional without being remotely boring. The half bottle format means you can open it without ceremony or regret.
Casa Castillo 2017 Monastrell
Jumilla · Monastrell · 2017 · José María Vicente
The benchmark. Jumilla’s finest, at Jumilla’s most reasonable.
José María Vicente has spent decades proving that Monastrell — Spain’s great misunderstood grape — is capable of genuine finesse and complexity in the right hands. Casa Castillo’s 2017 is the proof: dark fruit, lavender, garrigue and a warmth that is purely Mediterranean, with none of the jammy excess that gives the variety a bad name. The most approachable bottle in the pack and the one that will convert the Monastrell skeptics at your table.
