Recommended wine: Tempranillo, Albarino, Grenache

Spanish can be paired 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 Bodegas Volver La Mancha Single Vineyard Tempranillo. Reviewers quite like it with a 4 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 12 dollars per bottle.
