Recommended wine: Tempranillo, Grenache, Albarino

Spanish works really well with Tempranillo, Grenache, and Albarino. 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. The Hacienda Lopez de Haro Tempranillo with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 12 dollars per bottle.

Its short aging, 3-4 months in new barrels, provides the wine complexity, accompanying red fruits and liquorice aromas typical of the variety. A tasty wine, rich in fruity tastes with a sweet tannin structure that leaves a long aftertaste.
