For the last thirty or so years, I have played a wine-hunting game at this time of year. The challenge I set myself is to find the two best party wines for the forthcoming festive season. The rules are simple: the wines must be under a tenner, drinking perfectly, competent crowd-pleasers, but also complex enough to satiate the taste buds of genuinely discerning wine lovers. This year, my chosen white and red come from the same property, making it the first time this has happened....Its red sibling is equally eye-catching, and it is an ebullient Tempranillo. 2022 Capellana Tinto is joyous, brightly fruited, seamless and blessed with crunchy acidity and little tannin. It can be drunk without food because of its ripeness and freshness, yet it will glide into action with virtually any dish you can think of. You can now tick ‘epic party wines’ off your Christmas to-do list! Matthew Jukes www.matthewjukes.com (Dec 2023)

Tempranillo. Very recognisably Tempranillo on the nose and light and fresh. Easy drinking indeed. QGV 13% Drinking range: 2023 - 2025 Rating: 16 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Oct 2023)
Bodegas Nodus
When Adolfo De Las Heras Marín, acquired the El Renegado estate in 19895 it was 540 hectares of forest and vineyards, of which 80% was planted with 40 year old Bobal vines. Adolfo pioneered the introduction of other grapes such as merlot and cabernet.
It was Adolfo’s son also called Adolfo who upon taking over the winery in the late nineties, revolutionised the quality of production, importing additional varieties such as syrah, chardonnay, cabernet franc and updating the Barrel cellar and bottling line, as well as transforming the old Farmstead into a beautiful Hotel.
From the late nineties until 2006, Adolfo De Las Heras meticulously and expertly shaped the estate and the winery to his vision: The use of modern methods and producing limited numbers of the top quality wines.
Thus was born Nodus, one of the most significant estates of the D.O.
