Established in 1981 by Howard Charles Domney and Christopher Mitchell Pacey, Charles Mitchell Wines are specialist fine wine merchants supplying exquisite hand crafted wines for their discerning clients.
All their wines come from celebrated or unknown vineyards but they share the same distinction, each wine has been chosen for its tasting excellence.
In constant pursuit of excellence, Charles Mitchell Wines source only the finest wines from the world’s most prestigious producers.
Whatever your taste and whatever the occasion, Charles Mitchell Wines offer the ultimate service for discerning wine lovers.
The wine guru Chris Pacey and Director of the company, has decided to choose after several years of continuous tastings throughout Spain.
A wine that he calls the One ‘Unico’, this wine selected by himself at the cellar, is the one that he likes the most, to be able to offer and recommend to his most demanding customers.
A wine with a cherry and brick color on the pleasant licorice, notes of pastry and herbs. In the palate is rich, creamy, with good acidity, sweet tannin, and gentle but persistent.
Charles Mitchell Wines were delighted to select two wonderful ‘Unico’ wines from the Rioja Alta region of Northern Spain both of which are produced by the Urbina family.
Pedro Urbina Jnr makes traditional, hand crafted wines using his finest Tempranillo grapes and a mixture of French and, American Oak barrels.

The first wine is the 1999 ‘Unico’ Seleccion. This wine has had 18 months in barrel and over 10 years in bottle producing a mature and elegant Rioja.
Very aromatic, fragrant with a lovely explosion of berries, damsons and figs this is a great summer wine and perfect with lamb.
At £299 for 12 bottles this is truly amazing value. Highly recommended.
The second wine is the Godfather of the Urbina range, the 1996 Gran Reserva ‘Unico’ which has 4 years in French barrel and 12 years in bottle.
1996 is considered by connoisseurs as one of the greatest vintages of the century, giving this wine more richness, intensity and a beautiful concentration of mature fruits.
At £450 for 12 bottles we encourage you to order this truly special wine whilst stocks last.
With excellent balance and harmony of sensations. Wines to fall in love.
