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.

Deep black cherry color with aromas of white pepper and black fruits. Bright and bold on the palate with an equal finish that has good structure and spice.
