Recommended wine: Tempranillo, Albarino, Grenache

Spanish works really well with Tempranillo, Albarino, and Grenache. 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 Tridente EntreSuelos Tempranillo with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 13 dollars per bottle.

Tridente EntreSuelos Tempranillo

Deep black cherry color with aromas of white pepper and black fruits. Bright and bold on the palate with an equal finish that has good structure and spice.
