Spain
About the SessionRioja anchors the Spanish session with a depth and breadth that rewards both traditionalists and modern-style enthusiasts. La Rioja Alta is the most extensively represented producer, with Gran Reserva 904 spanning multiple vintages and formats, alongside the classic Reservas - Viña Ardanza, Viña Alberdi, and Viña Arana. Beyond Rioja, Sierra Cantabria delivers some of the most sought-after names in the sale. Their single-vineyard Amancio across 2002 and 2007, the Finca El Bosque, and the Colección Privada 2003 represent the very top of the Rioja hierarchy.
About this Item
Provenance
The late David Brice was a respected wine connoisseur, collector and co-founder of Brice and Burnett – The Fine Wine Specialists (formerly Wine Cellar). His lifelong passion for wine from all corners of the world wine, and generosity, helped develop a culture of fine wine in South Africa and beyond. Always with value and authenticity in mind, the collection spans a wide range of styles from leading producers and diverse regions. The wines were professionally imported under refrigeration and carefully stored at Brice and Burnett (formerly Wine Cellar) thereafter. Many of the producers are not available in South Africa and provide an excellent buying opportunity.
For more detailed information on the lots, please feel free to contact Roland Peens (roland@briceandburnett.co.za). Roland spent many years sharing and enjoying these wines with David Brice and is happy to provide further insight into the collection.
Critics Ratings
“The San Vicente Eguren brothers' Alavesa property and its standalone wine. Deep crimson still. Even at nine years old! Lots of savour and tobacco leaf with sweet, mellow fruit. Long and rich with a fully evolved texture. Great freshness on the finish. Well done!” - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Jan 2017)
“Coffee and licorice notes frame blackberry and fig flavors in this bold, modern-style red. But characteristic leaf and tobacco notes keep this rooted in the region. Firm tannins give way to a juicy, floral finish.” - Thomas Matthews, Wine Spectator, 91/100 (Dec 2010)
“(100% tempranillo) Bright purple. Smoky, expansive aromas of black raspberry, allspice, anise and potpourri, with a lively mineral quality. Juicy and incisive, offering sweet red and dark berry flavors and excellent clarity. Packs a punch but this wine is surprisingly light on its feet and finishes with striking purity and lingering spiciness. This saw only new French barriques but I find the oak playing a secondary role to the sexy fruit.” - Josh Raynolds, Vinous, 92/100 (Nov 2010)
