Primitivo de Puglia,'A Mano'
Californian winemaker Mark Shannon fell in love with Puglia after working there briefly as a consultant. He returned with a view to creating the region's single best wine, choosing as his raw materials the premium fruit from 70-100 year-old Primitivo vines. In heat-steeped 2003, he succeeded admirably in capturing the power and concentration of the vintage. Densely-packed with vigorous, opulent black cherry and liquorice flavours, this is a blockbuster style for hearty dishes.

2008 La Mano, Mencia Tinto Roble, Vinos de Arganza, Bierzo
The region of Bierzo is situated in northwest Spain just inland from Galicia. History shows that winemaking in the area dates back as far as visiting Greeks and Phoenecians. La Mano refers to the work done by the harvesters who collect the Mencia grapes which are then destemmed and crushed before being put into large stainless steel tanks where the pulp is macerated for 48 hours in order to extract maximum aromas and colour. After fermentation the wine goes to mature in barrels of American oak for three months before bottling.
