Alliance Wine
Founded in 1984. by Christian Bouteiller and Jonathan Kennett, the team already has two Master of Wine winners - Fergal Tynan M.W and Giles Cooke M.W. The company's home is Beith, Ayrshire, Scotland and from this simple idyllic village, today Alliance Wines has grown into one of the leading suppliers of wine in the United Kingdom. They import wine from over 20 countries around the world and represent over 200 producers. Tireless in their pursuit of the extraordinary and thirsty for wines with soul and personality, it is no surprise that they focus and turn to the creation and cultivation of their own wines. This passion leads them to search for specific terroirs and - for now - they make wine in Australia, Spain, France and Chile.

Rioja
Undoubtedly, this is the homeland of the oldest and most respected red wine in Spain, rivaled only by Sherry; the vineyards trace the course of the Ebro River for about 100 kilometers between the towns of Haro and Alfaro; the region is named after the river that flows through it, Rio Oja; it is divided into three distinct areas: Rio Alta, the highest, where the wines are considered elegant and with balanced acidity; Alavesa, the middle (here the acidity is slightly more pronounced), and Baja, the lowest, where the noticeably warmer climate dictates a more pronounced richness and density in the wines; overall, the best wines come from Alta and Alavesa, although many of them are a blend of the two; the main grape here is Tempranillo, often blended with Garnacha and sometimes Carignane; all wines in Rioja's top category must age in oak, with American oak historically preferred; however, nowadays many wineries use a combination of American and French oak; the aging in American oak is what gives the more traditional red wines of Rioja their distinctive notes of coconut, vanilla, and sweet spice; the time that Rioja wine spends in barrel dictates which of the official aging categories of Rioja will appear on the label: Joven, Crianza, Reserva, or Gran Reserva; Rioja Joven wines are meant for consumption within two years of the harvest; they spend little or no time in oak - joven is the Spanish word for

Grenache
Grenache (Garnacha) is a red-wine grape grown extensively in France, Spain, Australia and the United States. Grenache is the French name for the grape, while in Spain it is known as Garnacha, and on the island of Sardinia they call it Cannonau. In France it is most commonly found in the classic Southern Rhone Blend ( it is the main grape variety in Chateauneuf-du-Pape) but also plays a main role in one of southern France's signature Rosè wine style in Provence. In Spain, Garnacha is the key constituent in the prestigious wines of Priorat.
