Details
There is plenty to love about this easy-drinking Tempranillo. It is layered with ripe, red and black cherry characters and berry fruit. Honest tannins and good freshness make this the perfect sipper for any day of the week.

Origin: Spain. Mainly Grown In: Spain, Portugal, Argentina. Key Facts: You love the bold and the beautiful; the kind of beauty that is confident, self-assured, secure and doesn’t need to spend extra time in the mirror for a self-guided pep talk in order to look mega hot on the dance floor. Meet Tempranillo, a Spanish grape with a confident backbone of tannin balanced with sweeter red fruits like cherries and strawberries and with an alluring kick of spice. Tempranillo is praised both in its youth as well as being able to age. In fact, in Rioja, they have an entire grading system based on the time it spends ageing in oak. The more time in oak, the more expensive, and the more you will notice flavours becoming more leathery and savoury. It is important to remember, however, that more time in oak does not necessarily mean it is better quality. Fun Fact: Tempranillo is the fourth most planted grape in the world!

Pairing guide
With its deep and subtly spicy character, this beautiful Tempranillo wine is perfectly positioned for pairing with big, bold flavours and hearty home cooked meals. It’s going to be particularly good with spice-rubbed cuts of lamb, pork and beef, and will pair very well with beef cheeks braised with red wine, mushrooms and smoked paprika. Mexican mole sauces, roast chicken thighs, barbacoa-style dishes and anything with charred corn or polenta will also work brilliantly. Delicious!

The terroir across these regions can be characterized by the high chalk content of its soil, which helps to retain moisture during the arid summers. The top wine styles produced in La Mancha are primarily red wines made from the Tempranillo grape, including the well-known Crianza and the top tier Reserva styles, as well as Garnacha, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah. However, the region also produces some white wines made from the fruity Airen grape, which is a native varietal of La Mancha and one of the most widely planted white grape varieties in the world.
