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. You could try Rabble Tempranillo. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 23 dollars per bottle.
Rabble Tempranillo
Rabble Tempranillo
A classic Spanish grape variety from our sustainably grown vineyards in Paso Robles. If Don Quixote was a wine, this would be it—perfect with paella, stuffed red peppers and marinated mushrooms.Aromas of black plum, licorice and ripe fig. Lush flavors of blackberry pie, sarsaparilla and cigar box. Seductively rustic tannins on the finish.Aged for nine months in French and American oak barrels (27% new oak)
