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. The Flaco Tempranillo with a 4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 8 dollars per bottle.
![Flaco Tempranillo]()
Flaco Tempranillo
Produced from organically grown, dry-farmed vineyards. Flaco shows the complexity of twice its price. These vines are tended in diverse micro-climates, allowing for more consistency of ripeness year after year. The fresh, pure character of this wine makes this an extremely versatile wine to pair with food. This wine pairs well with white meats like pork and chicken and flaky fish like hake, cod or flounder. This has the fruit and acidity to match with red meats, as well.
