Recommended wine: Tempranillo, Albarino, Grenache

Tempranillo, Albarino, and Grenache are great choices for Spanish. When pairing wine with Spanish dishes, why not follow the rule 'what grows together goes together'? We recommend albariño for white wine and garnachan and tempranillo for red. One wine you could try is Sangre de Toro Tempranillo. It has 4.5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 9 dollars.
Sangre de Toro Tempranillo
Sangre de Toro Tempranillo
A wine full of character and is both powerful and elegant. Delicate floral aromas over a background of very ripe fruit, oak and truffles. Its tannins have a fruity, meaty structure that evolves into velvety touches of smoke and spices acquired during aging.Ideal with meat, paella, and perfect with creamy cheeses.
