@CampdEstrelles That's nuts 😱

[Paul Courtney @ArdenPaul4]

@CampdEstrelles The mystery of what happened to the sample which accidentally fell into a glass, which, somewhat suspiciously, happened to be in Steve's hand 🤔 (purple teeth officer 😉🕵‍♂️)

[Paul Courtney @ArdenPaul4]

@CellerAlimara It's all about the team 👏

[Paul Courtney @ArdenPaul4]

@ADHalliwell Looks the biz 👍👏
Garnacha for the win ❤️

[Paul Courtney @ArdenPaul4]

@BlindTasters Garnacha never really going to be a low ABV option! Still sounds amazing though 👍

[Paul Courtney @ArdenPaul4]

@BlindTasters Thanks for taking us with you on your visit to the Gredos 👍👏

[Wine Blind Tasting @BlindTasters]

Old vines, mountain wines, and some of Spain’s most compelling Garnacha. My write-up of Sierra de Gredos, fresh from this week’s trip. https://t.co/vE8mnbYHU3

[Paul Courtney @ArdenPaul4]

@BlindTasters Getting into their stride. Gorgeous 😍

[Paul Courtney @ArdenPaul4]

@BlindTasters That's why we never see any over here. Really keen to try the A Real. Looks like you're having fun!

[Paul Courtney @ArdenPaul4]

@BlindTasters Surely some of the finest Garnacha in the world 👏👏❤️

[Paul Courtney @ArdenPaul4]

@BlindTasters Vines look really healthy 👍

[Paul Courtney @ArdenPaul4]

@BlindTasters How do vines thrive in such conditions! Awesome 👍

[Paul Courtney @ArdenPaul4]

@BlindTasters Envious, you're in for a treat I'm sure. Look out for the after effects of the wildfires 😕

[Paul Courtney @ArdenPaul4]

@CampdEstrelles Do you not have local garages out there who do that job for you?!
Geasy Joe's, Gease monkeys, etc!

[Paul Courtney @ArdenPaul4]

@whiskersmouse Sharing not your forte, so, very well done 👏 😄

[Paul Courtney @ArdenPaul4]

@EdenPortraits Glorious pumpkin-kin! 👏♥️

[Paul Courtney @ArdenPaul4]

@CampdEstrelles 🎶Let me take you by the hand and lead you to a wonderland, all that's missing is the sea, but don't worry you can sun-tan🎶 😁

[Paul Courtney @ArdenPaul4]

@CampdEstrelles Crack on then 😉😁

[Paul Courtney @ArdenPaul4]

@joannasimon @worldoffinewine Fascinating article Joanna, I have learnt a lot! Thanks for sharing 👍

[Paul Courtney @ArdenPaul4]

@littlebedwyn Well, I'll wager that was a 'money can't buy' experience 👏
