Recommended wine: Tempranillo, Albarino, Grenache

Spanish on the menu? Try pairing 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. You could try Vina Herminia Tempranillo. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 14 dollars per bottle.
