Patricia Benitez Quione 2018
About the wine
- Patricia Benitez has been winemaking Spain's iconic Ribera del Duero region for decades. Thirteen of those years were spent as the unsung hero behind Spain's most expensive wine... This is by no means your average tipple, unless the thought of dropping a cool £800 on a single bottle doesn't break you out in an equally cool sweat.
- Having worked alongside all the big Ribera stars, Patricia has decided it's time to pursue her own passion project, paying homage to the very special Fuentenbro region of Ribera in a style distinctly her own.
- 'Fine Wine' doesn't begin to cover the contents of this particular bottle - complex with wild herbs and rich black fruits, delicately spiced notes and a plush smoothness in the mouth. You better believe we've had a hard time keeping this one under our hats - a more palate pristine, stylish wine we are yet to encounter!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Patricia Benitez
- Patricia Benitez is a bona fide winemaking powerhouse who has dedicated years to perfecting one of Spain’s most legendary (and expensive) reds. One of Patricia’s vintages bagged a perfect 100 Parker Points and costs upwards of £100 a bottle.
- Having achieved most winemakers’ wildest dreams, you’d think Patricia would be satisfied. But she had another goal yet to tick off her bucket list… making a wine with her own name on the label and with her favourite Riberan area of Fuentenebro at it's heart.
- Now she’s finally on her way to unlocking this long cherished dream. With Angels behind her, she’s on a mission to rescue neglected old vines in a remote abandoned village in Spain’s Ribera del Duero, to create wines of sensational quality - at Angel prices.
