Details
This is a lovely and playful expression of Spanish Garnacha (Grenache) with bright and vibrant notes of blue fruit and some bubblegum notes. Expect ripe flavours of raspberry and cherry on the palate alongside crisp and bubbly acidity and a long, drawn-out finish.

The philosophy at Tintoralba hasn't changed a lot in half a century. A cooperative winery that behaves as one team, joining efforts and combining resources in perfecting quality and winemaking techniques. Deeply rooted in the uniqueness of its home of Almansa; a regional 'OG' on Spain's wine map (near Madrid) was officially recognised and designated way back in the 1960s. So, what makes Almansa so unique? The winegrowing! Here, the attention is focused on one peculiar grape - the fleshy, quirky, and inimitable 'Garnacha Tintorera'. Not to be confused with Garnacha (aka. Grenache) Garnacha Tintorera is a hybrid variety, giving us a wild, colourful and so utterly weird grape known for the bizarre pigmentation of its pulp. You may have heard of it as Alicante Bouschet. It's the same grape, from a different place. Think of it as the juicy, inky 'blood plum' of the wine world, and, when in the purple-stained hands of Tintoralba's winemakers, continues to prove its significant worth and potential for the 'OG' fleshy reds of Almansa. Get on board. Wines are made for fun, and for creating memories - the best garnish to any social setting. Ole!

Pairing guide
Ooh, we do love a nice Grenache. This beautifully versatile variety is always ideal with a wide array of tasty homemade treats, and this bottle is absolutely no exception. Perfect with roast chicken thighs, beef, lamb or pork casseroles, and hearty vegetarian dishes of red peppers, aubergine, courgettes and butternut squash, it’s a truly food-friendly number that’s sure to get your culinary muscles flexing. Give it a try with tomato-based pasta dishes or richer Indian curries, and you’ll see exactly what we mean!
