Brand properties

General info :
La Báscula is a brand name used by Bonfire Hill Ltd. to define their Spanish wine range.
It is a project started by Englishman and Master of Wine Ed Adams MW and multi-award winning South African winemaker Bruce Jack.

The wines in the range have intrinsic balance; there is a balance between indigenous Spanish varieties and modern winemaking and with the label design there is a balance between New World dynamism and a more traditional gentility represented by the Alhambra motifs found on the label and capsule.

The philosophy is small volumes and really high quality; also the lead varietal or varietals in all the wines are always native Spanish grapes which is very important for typicity and integrity.
They have made small but significant changes in the winemaking and handling as well as introducing their own excellent American barrels from Barrel Associates, California, the same barrels Bruce’s Flagstone winery uses in South Africa. The result is fine, ripe, concentrated wines without some the dryness on the finish that is sometimes evident even in top Spanish offerings.

La Báscula started life with just two wines in the range, both Monastrell based red wines from Jumilla, south-east Spain. They now offer a full range to cover the whole dinner party with additions from Rioja, Rueda, Catalonia and an exquisite dessert wine from near Alicante.
