This is a 50/50 blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha and we love it! So many Tempranillo wines at this level tend to be fruit bombs. Whilst we don't mind that at all, we love a wine with a bit of class. This is a super crisp, fresh style with a nose of blueberry fruit, with plenty of structure and backbone.

Origin: Rioja, in central-northern Spain. Mainly Grown In: All over Spain, but also a few places in Australia and California. 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 here, tied up with mouth-filling tannins. Sometimes richer, sometimes lighter, always good drinking. Fun Fact: Tempranillo got its name from the word "temprano" which means "early". This is because the Tempranillo grape ripens earlier than many other Spanish grapes. It also makes it the perfect wine to open if you're a little early yourself and need to crack into a wine before 5pm.
