Recommended wine: Tempranillo, Albarino, Grenache

Tempranillo, Albarino, and Grenache are great choices 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 Sangre de Toro Tempranillo. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 9 dollars per bottle.
