Details
This Le Bisou Rose red is a fab, fun blend of Grenache and - yes - Tempranillo! Medium bodied, soft and supple, this generous red provides ample charm. Plenty of red fruit, figs and spicy notes abound, this is fresh, fun, and the perfect BBQ red!
Origin: Rioja, in central-northern Spain. Mainly Grown In: All over Spain, Portugal, Argentina, and McLaren Vale and NE Victoria in Australia. Key Facts: Imagine taking the classic variety Tempranillo and darkening the fruit spectrum and polishing off some of the rustic edges. Making it whip smart, tightening things up and making it into a really flashy young thing? That's essentially what these blends are - they have the soul of Tempranillo, but they set off on a different path, a path that is equally delicious, just a little bit different. Loads of spicy, berry-fruit muskiness tied up with mouth-filling tannins. Sometimes richer, sometimes lighter, always good drinking. Fun Fact: Tempranillo is gaining popularity and hectares in Australia and has increased in plantings 7x since 2001.

Pairing guide
We make no secret of our love for Tempranillo wines, and it’s always exciting to discover a new bottle to share with you all. Deep, punchy and with those distinctive savoury notes, this delicious bold red is sure to satisfy the senses and pair with some of your favourite dishes. We reckon it’s a top match for Tex Mex flavours - chilli con carne, burritos, fajitas and chipotle pork stews - and it’s also going to work brilliant with meaty paella, Spanish cheeses like manchego, and anything featuring plenty of black beans, kidney beans or polenta. Yum!

Wine region
South of France, France
French wine regions are quite controlling about what grapes they can use, when they can pick their grapes and what must be stated on the bottles. If wineries want to avoid all these tiresome restrictions, they simply use the catch-all term "Vin de France" ; however this mostly applies to the South of France where the main wine regions of Bordeaux, Rhone, Languedoc-Roussillon and the South-West sit. These regions grow it all, from Cabernet Sauvignon to Grenache and Sauvignon Blanc to Viognier so it is a great option to make less serious and restrictive wine and wines with a bit of personality.
