Equipment

Recommended wine: Tempranillo, Albarino, Grenache

Tempranillo, Albarino, and Grenache are my top picks for Spanish. 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 Parador Tempranillo. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 40 dollars per bottle.
Parador Tempranillo
Parador Tempranillo
2012 Parador Tempranillo has a powerful fruit profile, a characteristic of the sunny and warm growing season. Reminiscent of a classic Ribera del Duero-style, the wine has bright red fruit and violet notes, with a stony, classically dry finish. First vintage from Stagecoach Vineyard.Blend: 100% Tempranillo
