A representative of the Cepa 21 winery told the BBC the wine spilled came from two of the winery's most expensive varieties, Horcajo and Malabrigo.

He said the incident took place at about 03:30 local time (02:30 GMT) on Sunday and that the intruder was likely familiar with the winery grounds.

Police are investigating the case.

In CCTV, a hooded person can be seen moving between tanks and rapidly opening them, causing their contents to spill on to the floor.
