This classically rustic Tempranillo will pair perfectly with all your meaty dreams--namely stews, game and roasted meat dishes.
Sweet red cherries, vanilla and dried fruit aromas with band-aid and tobacco notes. Medium-bodied on the palate with more cherry, oak and sumac spice, cocoa, toast and leather-y flavours with a smooth, warm finish and attractive price.

Sweet and smoky - this young-ish Tempranillo (Crianza being younger upon release than Reserva) has red cherry and leather, hints of sweet spice, licorice and iodine with undertones of mocha. The acidity stands out - great for cutting through fatty dishes or cheeses - the fruit is bright and flavours echo the aromas.
Pair with rich meat dishes or aged Manchego.

This very approachable Tempranillo falls under the label of Crianza - which means by Spanish wine law it must be aged a minimum of two years, and one of those years must be aged in the barrel.
It presents significant red fruit and leather with exotic spices, cocoa, tobacco and ample peppery tones. The palate is bright led by smoky fruit and spice flavours. A very easy drinking and supple wine that will partner nicely with tapas or aged cheeses.

The aromas are fairly subdued - strawberries and red plums, saddle leather and spice peek out of earth. But the palate that shines in this Tempranillo, with red fruit, coffee and spice box flavours. Expect a wine with great acidity and fine, mouth-coating tannins that grab on mid-palate and don't let go.
Pair with lamb or vegetables in a tomato based stew
