Rioja's neighbour Navarra has always been a bit of a renegade region, ready to make wine differently. It embraces Cabernet Sauvignon for starters. This is a fabulous Napa style red with rich, ripe blackcurrant fruit and a flattering touch of oak.

The first wine Tony Laithwaite bought from Spain was from the late Tony Barrero, who became a lifetime friend. He was a talented winemaker and always managed to get hold of terrific grapes. He's handed those attributes to his daughter, Maitena, also a winemaker, that we also know well and where we discovered this irresistible rich red. The grapes all come from old, arid soil vineyards, overshadowed by statuesque stone pines. Both vines and trees benefit from the cool down draught from the Moncayo mountains, producing Cabernet grapes with delicious depth of ripeness and velvety tannins. 16 months in French oak barrels provides more layers of richness and power. Decant early if you can and serve with weighty dishes – roast meats or casserole.
