The Guv’nor Is Back – No Rules, Just Great Wine

Majestic wine set out on a mission and asked some of its most prized winemakers working in Spain to make the best wines possible – no rules, no restrictions, no red tape.

To this quest, The Guv’nor collection was their answer. No ego, no arguments, just the best Guv’nor in business.

The Collection includes 6 bottles, including 2 whites, 2 reds, 1 rosé and 1 sparkling white wine.

1. The Guv’nor sparkling (£8.00 Mix Six, £10.00 per bottle)

The Guv’nor wines break the winemaking rules to bring you plenty of flavour at great value. Like the Guv’nor red, this sparkling wine is made from a number of Spain’s most popular regions. Carefully blending grapes from a number of areas breaks the winemaker behind it from restrictive regional rules. This means they can take advantage of the best parcels available and create something truly special.

2. The Guv’nor white (£7.99 Mix Six, £9.99 per bottle)

Spain’s winemaking rules are notoriously strict and convoluted. Like its ever-popular red sibling, The Guv’nor White breaks them all. No restrictions on vintage, region or labelling – and the result is a delicious wine that reflects the warm, sunny climate of its homeland. It’s a bold, full-bodied blend of Verdejo and Sauvignon Blanc, with some oak-aged Chardonnay added to dial up the richness.

“A vibrant ripe and fruity experience, silky smooth, mor’ish, simple and clean, easy to enjoy a few glasses.”

3. The Guv’nor VIP white (£9.99 Mix Six, £11.99 per bottle)

Love The Guv’nor Blanco? Meet its exciting new upgrade. This VIP bottle follows the same rule-breaking philosophy as its siblings, using hand-selected wines from Rueda, Galicia and Valdepeñas to create a uniquely cross-regional blend. Crafted by Félix Solís, the harvest is carefully handpicked, followed by ageing of the Chardonnay grape in American oak barriques to ensure quality and complexity.

“Comparing to the white, it holds a deeper expression of more citrus and unripe fruits, a bit harder to fall in love with.”

4. The Guv’nor rosé (£7.99 Mix Six, £9.99 per bottle)

The Guv’nor red is one of our best-ever-selling wines. True to form, this pink sibling also breaks the region and rule-based restrictions to bring you plenty of flavour at great value. It’s a blend of Garnacha, Bobal and Tempranillo grapes. Each of these varieties comes from a different area and has a unique identity. Bring them all together, and you get something truly remarkable.

5. The Guv’nor red (£7.99 Mix Six, £9.99 per bottle)

Made from Tempranillo grapes picked from their favourite vineyards across Spain, it’s a crowd-pleasing wine designed to be shared with good food – and even better company. It’s bold. It’s fruity. It’s a modern Spanish red that goes with everything, especially spicy barbecue meats or anything chargrilled.

“Rich, clean and easy going, delivering a good balance of fruits and tannins, will need to enjoy the next glass with some meats.”

6. The Guv’nor VIP red (£9.99 Mix Six, £11.99 per bottle)

Just when you thought all the rules were broken… The Guv’nor VIP is not the best of two worlds, but three. Robbing grapes from some of the biggest names in Spain – Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Toro – this pioneering bandit doesn’t care about tradition, only great taste. It’s an upgrade on everything the Guv’nor stands for: better grapes, meticulously applied oak, and an even smoother, fruitier taste.

“A great blend, delivering nice notes of okay characters, bark, forest floor, with a wide array of red and black fruits to enjoy.”
