Viña Real Gran Reserva Especial 2017

GRAPE VARIETIES

95% Tempranillo and 5% Graciano

WINE TASTING

Viña Real dates back to 1920. Today this winery is not only a winemaking pioneer in ageing Rioja Alavesa but a timeless brand that has always remained faithful to its roots, with authenticity and sincerity at the fore.

Ever since then, a meticulous balance between tradition and modernity has defined the shape and content of Viña Real.

2004 saw the inauguration of the new Viña Real winery in Laguardia, where the whole process takes place from receiving the grapes to dispatching bottled wines.

Rioja Alavesa grapes are at the very heart of this winery. The winery’s name was inspired by the proximity of its vineyards to the old Camino Real. Clinging to this same patch of earth and blending into the Cerro de la Mesa hill is a monumental 30,000-square metre vat: this is the Viña Real building, an iconic design built in 2004 that masterfully blends the construction into the Riojan terrain.

Ageing of CVNE Viña Real Gran Reserva Especial is carried out in new single-use barrels, where the wine remains for an average of 24 months, with manual racking taking place every 4 months in the first year and less regularly in the second year. The wine is clarified prior to bottling to achieve a cleaner, smoother and glossier product. Once in the bottle, the desired roundness will be acquired within a minimum of 3 years. It will reach its prime many years later.

Vivid and bright ruby-red in colour with garnet rims and high colour layer. Very intense and complex on nose highlighting notes from its barrel ageing (coffee, spices, toasted and balsamic) well combined with aromas of ripe red and black fruits and dried fruits.

A very smooth, unctuous wine in the mouth, evolving towards an intense, structured and long-lasting finish with a certain acidity that gives its freshness. At all times a sweet tannin is appreciated, perfectly integrated. It will evolve very positively in the bottle, having a long life ahead.

Contino Reserva 2020

GRAPE VARIETIES

86% Tempranillo, 6% Mazuelo, 6% Graciano and 2% Garnacha

WINE TASTING

Viñedos del Contino was born in 1973, establishing the “château” concept in
the Rioja region. Its wines are made exclusively from the vines planted on its 62 hectares. The estate’s vineyards embrace its ancestral home within a meander in the River Ebro, located in Laserna, near the village of Laguardia in the Rioja Alavesa winemaking region.

In the times of the Reyes Catolicos (Ferdinand of Aragon and Elisabeth of Castille) the distinction of ‘Contino’ was conferred on each of the continuation of the Life Guards who protected the monarchs and their family. The Contino Pedro de Samaniego was rewarded with the estate of Laserna from which the Contino estate derives its name. The Contino labels show a figure of Saint Gregory, founder of the Benedictine monastic order and the patron saint of vine growers.

Contino Rioja Reserva is a wine that perfectly expresses and reflects the San Rafael estate, where Viñedos del Contino is located. It expresses the liveliness of our vines, the fluid character of our soils and the great complexity of the universe of micro-plots into which the estate is divided. Moreover, this 2020 is a wine with great potential to progress over time. The nose is reminiscent of black fruit notes, very well balanced with the expression of its oak ageing. Both on the palate and in the aftertaste, it is a fluid, silky wine, with personality and reserve character.

Pazo Barrantes 2021

GRAPE VARIETIES

100% Albariño

WINE TASTING

Although Pazo Barrantes has been the ancestral home to the Creixell family (owners of renowned Riojan labels Marques de Murrieta and Castillo Ygay) since the 15th century and where Albariño has been grown and made for generations, it was not until 1982, when the vineyards were re-planted and 1991, when the winery was built, that it became a commercial winery.

Located in the Salnés valley, the winery boasts 12 hectares that surround the 16th century Galician Palace. All the vines are trained high on supporting wires in the “Parral” trellis system, as is the local tradition, to guard against mildew and rot, and to assist ripening. The soil is sandy, acidic and shallow. Production is around 200,000 bottles per year.

After hand picking, the grapes are carefully de-stemmed and then gently pressed. The grape must is fermented in temperature controlled, stainless steel tanks at 10 degrees for approximately 60 days. The juice is left in contact with its lees for two months in the pursuit of texture and density. It is then aged in stainless steel tanks for seven months, 15% is aged in acaia wood, and spends 16 months in bottle before release. Bottled in June 2021 Pazo Barrantes develops an attractive aromatic complexity and mouth feel along its ageing in bottle.

A wide nuanced nose with ripe yellow plum and medlar fruit, subtle notes of bergamot and verbena underpinned by a fine balsamic background. Vibrant palate, well-balanced, fresh and textured. It shows a long and splendid finish.

Martinez Lacuesta Crianza 2020

GRAPE VARIETIES

100% Tempranillo

WINE TASTING

Bodegas Martínez Lacuesta was founded in 1895 in Haro by Félix Martínez Lacuesta. A winemaker, lawyer, politician and publicist, he was the first president of the National Association of Winegrowers and Wine Industries, as well as of the Rioja Wine Union. He was also one of the creators of the Regulating Board of D.O. Rioja, where he represented his fellow winemakers.

Faithful to Martinez Lacuesta’s style, the wine is subject to traditional fermentation, with destemming, a light pressing and fermentation in vats. In January 2019, the wine passed to American oak casks where it aged for almost two years. The wine was then decanted four times using our traditional gravity method. It was bottled in late 2020 for a subsequent ageing, one of the keys to the production of their classic wines.

Martinez Lacuesta Crianza 2020 is a wine with a great frankness and aromatic intensity in which ripe fruit predominates: raspberries, red cherries, wild strawberries and redcurrants over a balsamic background of vanilla, toasted caramel, biscuits, coffee and sweet mint. On the palate there is great freshness and balance with smooth, amiable tannins. The aromatic harmony persists in the finish, with jammy red fruit, prunes, coffee, vanilla and caramel notes. A refined Haro vintage that is true to its origins.

Victoria Malaga 33cl

Victoria Malaga is a refreshing lager with a balanced body and taste, perfect for drinking at any time of day. It is a light, golden colour and has a fine, sparkling, white head.

The story of Victoria Malaga beer is closely tied to the history of the city of Malaga. Malagueña y Exquisita, which means ‘From Malaga and Exquisite’, is not just a slogan but also the philosophy of the beer.

With the tourist boom of the 1960s, the famous Victoria Malaga advert was born, featuring a typical German tourist of the time, holding his boater hat, drying the sweat from his forehead, with a refreshing glass of beer. The advert became the icon of the city, bringing prosperity with him.

Estrella Damm Inedit is made with two types of beer: traditional malted-barley beer and wheat beer. This wheat, or white, beer is in the style of Witbier, originally from Belgium and made with unmalted wheat. Using unmalted wheat gives this beer more body and a softer, fuller mouthfeel. Inedit is flavoured with spices, giving it its special taste and making it a one-of-a-kind beer

The beer was created in collaboration with the celebrated chef Ferran Adrià of El Bulli fame to be a perfect beer to partner food. It works especially well with bittersweet and spicy flavours. Slightly cloudy in appearance it’s highly aromatic with a creamy fresh texture and pleasant lingering aftertaste.

Inedit was created to pair with a wide variety of culinary creations, even the most complicated citrus-based dishes or ones with bitter notes. Fantastic with starters, salads and oily fish, its versatility means it can also be paired with spicy or sweet-and-sour flavours.

Gin Xoriguer is the result of a distillation in traditional copper stills, using high quality wine alcohol (eau-de-vie) and carefully selected juniper berries, which come from the neighbouring Mediterranean mountains, together with aromatic herbs. These herbs are the guarded secret of Xoriguer gin’s original bouquet. Only the Pons family know the identity and proportion of this valuable ingredient, which is added behind closed doors and without witnesses, at the start of each distilling. The respect for tradition is such that the fuel still used today in the distillation is wood.

Gin Xoriguer is briefly stored in casks before being bottled. Xoriguer is the key ingredient in Menorca’s most popular cocktail drink, called pomada. An authentic pomada is made from Gin Xoriguer, lemonade and ice.

El Chano 2020

GRAPE VARIETIES

85% Mencía 85%, 13% Alicante Bouschet and 2% Palomino.

WINE TASTING

José Gordon has been a celebrity chef in Spain for a while, known mostly for his extremely high-quality steakhouse, El Capricho. But as one descends into the dark, orange-hued, dimly lit, and deeply shadowy, hand-carved clay cave of El
Capricho with table after table, catching unfamiliar words spoken by familiar accents from all corners of the globe, it quickly becomes obvious that he’s actually world famous.

José has since turned a lot of attention to his wine project, a continuation of his grandfather’s work and the ancient Mencía vines that average more than 100 years old (some own-rooted, pre-phylloxera era) and grown in the high desert between 800-1000m on iron-rich clay and sand that originated in the slate soils of nearby Monte Teleno, the tallest peak in the Galician Mountains.

El Chano is the result of the reactivation of old vineyards, most of which are over a hundred years old. The vineyards, cultivated with the traditional methods of organic farming, produce the grapes Mencia, Garnacha and Prieto Picudo. The result is a fine and fruity wine, where red and ripe fruit and wild aromas stand out. The wine matures for 12 months in French oak and is the ideal accompaniment to El Capricho steaks.

FOOD PAIRING

Best served with a superb piece of barbecued El Capricho steak.

El Capricho Ox Steak 1.3Kg

We are delighted to announce that we have partnered with the world’s best steak restaurant El Capricho for the limited supply of selected ox and old cow steak cuts now available at Basco.

The story of El Capricho restaurant in the tiny village of Jimenez de Jamuz in Leon is the stuff of gastronomic legend. For the last 25 years, its proprietor, José Gordón, has devoted himself almost religiously to the pursuit of the very finest meat to serve in his restaurant. Little could he have ever imagined that his lifetime’s work would wind up in El Capricho’s steak being judged as the world’s absolute best by a series of renowned international publications.

It all starts with the animals. José travels far and wide to find the finest oxen available, choosing mature animals whose meat has been sculpted by a lifetime of work in the open fields. He brings each ox to his natural, organic farm in order to fatten them before slaughter, a process that typically takes 5 years, during which time the meat becomes marbled with the characteristic fat and subtle nuances which lend the final product an unmistakable taste. After slaughter, the meat is hung to cure at low temperatures for 60-100 days – intensifying the already spectacular flavours.

The result is meat unlike any other. Time Magazine called it “the perfect steak”. American Vogue food writer Jeffrey Steingarten described it as “probably the greatest steak I’ve ever eaten”. The guardian featured El Capricho as the best place to eat steak in the world.

HOW LONG IS EL CAPRICHO DE JOSE GORDON BEEF AGED FOR?

Our ox steaks from El Capricho have been dry-aged for between 60-100 days from older oxen that can vary in breed from order to order depending on availability.

HOW TO COOK EL CAPRICHO BY JOSE GORDON RIB STEAK?

This beef is traditionally cooked over charcoal however, it will cook beautifully on a plancha or on a cast iron griddle or pan – something heavy that will hold the heat evenly. The important thing to remember is that El Capricho by Gordon beef has sufficient fat within each steak and so just needs a light greasing of the pan. Lightly salt the steak on each side for 30 minutes before cooking to bring out a film of moisture which helps in the creation of a savoury crust on the steak. Get to a medium-high heat sear on each side for 8-10 minutes. Allow to rest for at least 5 minutes on a warm plate, thinly slice and then further salt. Traditionally eaten with a crisp green salad and chips.

HOW DOES MY EL CAPRICHO BY JOSE GORDON OX STEAK ARRIVE?

You will receive one chilled vac pac of El Capricho by Jose Gordon Ox steak delivered on ice pads.

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE SOURCE THIS PRODUCT IN VARIABLE WEIGHT PACKS, SO EXPECT A WEIGHT VARIATION OF APPROXIMATELY 200G +/- ON YOUR EL CAPRICHO OX STEAK.

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE CUT OUR STEAKS FROM THE WHOLE LOIN, SO SOME STEAKS WILL BE FROM THE RIB PART AND SOME FROM THE SIRLOIN PART. IF YOU WANT TO SPECIFY THE CUT YOU WANT, PLEASE CONTACT US WITH YOUR ORDER NUMBER.

Arturo Sánchez Boneless Paleta Ibérica de Cebo 2.5Kg

WHAT IS BONELESS PALETA IBÉRICA DE CEBO?

Arturo Sánchez Boneless Paleta Ibérica de Cebo Shoulder Ham from Basco is produced from Ibérico pigs situated in Guijuelo, Spain.

This boneless shoulder ham, known in Spain as Paleta Ibérica has a rich nutty taste and can only derive from black pigs of the Iberian breed whose unique origin can be traced back through the ages. This ancient breed possesses many qualities, including the capacity to accumulate fat between the muscular fibres. This is what gives the ham its unique white streaks!

The main feature that distinguishes Ibérico from the rest of cured hams is the purity of the breed. The pigs are allowed to freely move around extensive wooded pastures known as Dehesas. At least a hectare of healthy pasture is needed to raise a single pig and all of the animals are fed on a diet of fresh grass quality acorns from Holm and Cork Oak meadows which gives the meat its exquisite taste and aroma.

WHAT IS PALETA IBÉRICA?

Paleta is the cured front shoulder ham. Because it is smaller, it cures much more quickly and has less time to age than a larger jamon (about two years, vs. three to four years for a ham).

Our Arturo Sánchez Boneless Ibérico Cebo Shoulder average weight 2.5Kg making it the perfect party feature. The size also makes this shoulder ideal for home consumption when you don’t want a larger ham to carve.

Cured for over two years, this shoulder ham (paleta ibérica) comes from acorn-fed, free range, Ibérico pork, only found in the Southwest region of Spain. The rich acorn diet and outdoor exercise marble the meat, for a succulent ham that melts in your mouth.

HOW DO I PREPARE MY ARTURO SÁNCHEZ BONELESS IBÉRICO DE CEBO SHOULDER?

Sliced thinly, Ibérico ham glistens at room temperature and provides an unparalleled rich nutty flavour and tender texture. Because whole hams continue to cure until you cut into them, you can hang it for up to 12 months before its first use and it will only get better with time.

This boneless paleta ibérica is ready to slice either by hand or with a meat slicer.

HOW DO I STORE MY ARTURO SÁNCHEZ PALETA IBÉRICA DE CEBO?

Store your Arturo Sánchez Boneless Paleta Ibérica in the refrigerator. There is no cooking required. Unopened this ham can last 12 months. Once opened, this boneless shoulder ham can last up to one month if wrapped in cling film and stored in the fridge.

AVERAGE WEIGHT 2.5KG. PRODUCT INCLUDES FREE DELIVERY. PLEASE NOTE THAT WEIGHTS CAN VARY FROM HAM TO HAM, SO EXPECT A SLIGHT VARIATION ON THE WEIGHT OF YOUR HAM.

Fresh Black Autumn Truffle

BLACK SUMMER TRUFFLE – TUBER UNCINATUM

The Black Autumn truffle (Tuber Uncinatum) also known as Tartufo Uncinato or Burgundy truffle, is very similar to our Summer Truffle, so much so that according to several scholars, it is actually an autumnal variety of this truffle. Compared to the summer truffle, autumn truffle has a more intense aroma.

The scientific name uncinatum derives from the Latin term uncinatus [hooked] due to the particular shape of its spores, characterised by membranes that, when observed under the microscope, reveal small hook-like filaments.

At Basco, we offer weekly batches of fresh Spanish Black Autumn Truffle from the ground to your door. Our fresh black autumn truffles come from our supplier’s own cultivation fields, which guarantees a high-quality production and total food safety.

Arturo Sánchez Guanciale Ibérico de Bellota 1Kg

WHAT IS GUANCIALE IBÉRICO DE BELLOTA?

Our papada ibérica de bellota, also known as Guanciale in Italian, is a cured meat product prepared from pork jowl. In both Spanish and Italian, the name derives from the words “papada” or “guancia” which translates to cheek.

The cut is characterised by being a product of firm and compact consistency and shades that vary between pinkish white and yellowish white with red and bright meat. It is a soft texture piece, but of great intensity in taste and smell.

Guanciale Iberico is a piece made up of the subcutaneous tissue obtained from the regions of the neck and lower neck muscles. It consists of skin, marbled tissue and muscular tissue from adult pigs only fed with acorn during two montanera seasons. The jowl is rubbed only with sea salt and is naturally cured for more than 8 months.

Ibérico charcuterie can only come from black pigs of the Iberian breed. This legendary and select race has many qualities, including a great capacity to accumulate fat under its skin and between the muscular fibres. The fat is what produces the typical white streaks that make its hams so special and bring the legendary flavour. The presence of this fat, when used to create chorizo adds a special dimension to the flavour – something that must be tried! The acorn-fed richness runs through the sausage, creating that classic rich nutty flavour that you can only get from the Dehesas of Spain. The sausages are also hand filled to ensure that this wonderful tradition of producing Lomo Ibérico is kept alive.

HOW TO SERVE GUANCIALE IBÉRICO DE BELLOTA?

This is a very versatile piece of charcuterie with extremely soft texture, which is very tasty, and its taste lingers in the mouth. Slice your Guanciale Ibérico as thinly as possible and serve with excellent bread and wine. Upon cooking, the fat typically melts away, giving great depth of flavour to the dishes and sauces it is used in. For maximum taste, it is recommended to consume the Arturo Sanchez Guanciale at room temperature, between 20 and 25°C.

HOW TO STORE GUANCIALE IBÉRICO DE BELLOTA?

Our Guanciale Ibérico comes in a whole piece vacuum-packed. Keep refrigerated between 0 and 6ºC. Keep in the refrigerator for up to 12 months unopened. Once opened, wrap tightly when stored and use within 1 month.

La Fragua Chopped Tomatoes 400g

Due to its special production method, La Fragua’s Finest Tomato Flesh retains all the freshness of fresh Spanish summer tomatoes. It is a unique product because it combines the tomato juice with its pulp, which is chopped into the finest pieces.

Finest tomato pulp is particularly good for fish dishes, but also goes well with recipes that are prepared with raw tomatoes. This is because La Fragua’s Finest Tomato Flesh has comparable flavours and herbal notes, as bright red as the sun-ripened crops. Our finest tomato pulp is rich in finely chopped tomato pieces and has a high liquid content. It can therefore also be used for long cooking times or with high temperatures (eg in the oven) prepared dishes.

Our tasting box includes three cans of 130g each of mousse de foie, mousse de foie with prunes and mousse the foie with truffle. Simple and pure, our mousse is the way foie gras was meant to be experienced. It makes the perfect addition to a charcuterie board and is a must-have at any dinner party.

We recommend bringing the mousses to room temperature for 5 to 20 minutes before consumption, to emphasise its taste at its best. To serve, it is best to open the two lids and push one side to extract the entire mousse onto a plate. Once opened, cut into thin slices. To do this, use a sharp knife, previously passed through hot water. You can also use a cheese wire. Serve the mousse on toasted bread with your choice of complements.

The base of the holder is made of black High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) for ease of cleaning and to remain hygienic. The base is also over an inch thick to ensure the ham holder stays firm when slicing delicious slices of Spanish ham.

Because of its brand reputation and the highest quality of material used in its manufacturing, our Arturo Sanchez Professional Ham Carving Stand is the standard against which all other ham holders are judged.

Our ham stand has a sophisticated rolling-disc system that enables you to turn the ham with effortless precision while the hoof remains secure. This exclusive feature is what makes our jamonero ham holder the most advanced in the world.

The ham sits on the base and can be set in various positions, depending again on the size of the ham. All of the hardware is made of solid, heavy gauge stainless steel, for a flawless presentation.

Malvasia Mousse de Foie with Truffle 130g

Simple and smooth, our mousse is the way foie gras was meant to be experienced. It makes the perfect addition to a charcuterie board and is a must-have at any dinner party or christmas table.

Mousse foie gras is fully cooked and ready-to-eat. We use nothing but duck foie gras, black truffle and port wine for a luxurious taste, salt and sugar in our recipe, and the unique foie gras flavour comes through in every creamy bite.

To serve, it is best to open the two lids and push one side to extract the entire mousse onto a plate. Once opened, cut into thin slices. To do this, use a sharp knife, previously passed through hot water. You can also use a cheese wire. Serve the mousse on toasted bread with your choice of complements.

Vega Gourmet Rosemary Sheep’s Milk Cheese 1.9Kg

This Spanish artisan rosemary flavoured cheese is made from pasteurised milk characterised by the scent of wild plants, which the producer’s own herd of sheep are fed with.

Although it’s not technically correct to call it Manchego because of its rosemary’s coating, this cheese is made by Manchego cheesemaker Vega Mancha using exactly the same ingredients and techniques.

Aged for at least 3 months, this cheese has an intense flavour with a pleasant rosemary aftertaste. But what a delight savory rosemary is, regardless of the official designation. The herb complements the entire complex herbal undertones of this extraordinary semi cured cheese. During the curing time, the cheese picks up just a little of the amazing aroma of the rosemary, adding an extra depth of flavour. It is still very much a Manchego flavour, but it is something more. Many people find it especially attractive to serve during the holidays.

It can be paired with white wines aged in oak band sherry. Pull out of the refrigerator at least 1 hour before serving.

Valduero 6 Años Reserva Premium 2016

GRAPE VARIETIES

100% Tempranillo

WINE TASTING

Bodegas Valduero is one of Spain’s most visionary and globally respected wineries. For almost 40 years. This family-owned run estate has been leading the way in Ribera de Duero which was one of the very first wineries to emerge from this highly coveted location to produce some of the most iconic wines in the world.

Bodegas Valduero was established by Gregorio García Álvarez in 1984, when only 30 wineries existed in Ribera del Duero. For over three decades, the region has flourished and so has the Bodega. Today, Gregory’s daughter Yolanda, one of Spain’s top oenologists, runs the 150-hectare estate helped with her sister Carolina who oversees the commercial side of the business. Their wines have won many awards and are renowned for their structure, freshness and complexity. They need time to reveal all their potential and for this reason, only Reserva and Gran Reserva wines are being made in the best years.

Traditionally, the vines are trained as low bush – producing very low yields – and planted exclusively with Tempranillo at 800 meters high. Very poor and dry soils combined with the harsh climatic conditions of the area – with cold winter and hot summer – are ideal for making wines of long life with great power.

The state of the art winery is sustainable using gravity to transport the freshly pressed must to the wine barrels which are stored in three underground tunnels. Yolanda believes long maturation in both barrel and bottle is absolutely necessary and meticulously selects each barrel to produce powerful and elegant wines that will last for decades.

FOOD PAIRING

All kind of red meats, bellota ham, cured cheeses, grilled oily fish such as tuna & salmon and dishes with rich sauces.
