Three iconic Rioja brands exclusively for you
Marqués de Cáceres, Viña Pomal and Valdemar, a winning trio
Rioja has hundreds of very interesting brands but only a few can be classified as MUST-HAVES. They’re labels with a long, prestigious tradition, the ones that will never let you down. One of them is undoubtedly Marqués de Cáceres, a cult winery that was a pioneer in introducing French oak and is huge abroad. Another, Viña Pomal, belongs to Bodegas Bilbaínas, which boasts a hundred-year track record and represents the best of the classical style. Third and last is Valdemar, a winery currently run by the fifth generation of a family who have got innovation running through their veins. We’re lucky to have had them make three superb wines exclusively for us: two Reservas and a Gran Reserva. The best kind for creating memorable moments and at a price you’ll find it hard to believe.
