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. The Torres Sangre de Toro Tempranillo with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 8 dollars per bottle.
Torres Sangre de Toro Tempranillo
Torres Sangre de Toro Tempranillo
A wine full of character and is both powerful and elegant. Delicate floral aromas over a background of very ripe fruit, oak and truffles. Its tannins have a fruity, meaty structure that evolves into velvety touches of smoke and spices acquired during aging.Ideal with meat, paella, and perfect with creamy cheeses.
