Romeral Rioja

Bodegas Del Romeral was founded by Don Félix Azpilicueta Martínez in 1888, making the winery among the earliest in La Rioja.  Marks & Spencer previously released an own-label Rioja wine under the name Marquès De Romeral (possibly, though not certainly, sourced from Bodegas Del Romeral).

Given the label damage, we are unable to categorically ascertain this wine's lineage, vintage, alcoholic volume or further useful information.  However, the wine is likely to be Tempranillo dominant, though possibly blended with some small quantities of Garnacha.

Raimat Clamor Tinto 1989

An interesting wine although with very little of the label left to recognise it.

The commune of Raimat in the Catalonian DO (Denominación de Origen) of Costers del Segre, is in fact one single vineyard, all 3,200 hectares - owned by Manuel Raventós - making it the largest parcel of vines of single person ownership in Europe.  This wine from Bodegas Raimat's \"Clamor\" range is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo (known locally as Ull De Llebre), with a brief resting period in oak barrels.

Obviously, please note the extremely poor condition of the label - I could be making everything up...
