Recommended wine: Tempranillo, Grenache, Albarino

Spanish works really well with Tempranillo, Grenache, and Albarino. 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 CVNE Seleccion de Fincas Tempranillo with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 17 dollars per bottle.

CVNE Seleccion de Fincas Tempranillo
Wine made with grapes from our vineyards in Villalba del Duero, Burgos. High purple layer. Nose with many notes of black fruits softened by the floral aromas that are punctuated by a touch of mineral from the soil, which is intermingled with the vanilla coming from their brief stay in the barrel. At the palate it is smoothed with a noble tannin which provides a long and persistent after taste. Made with 100% Tempranillo.Perfect pairing with all kinds of fatty meats and game in the form of roasts, stews, in addition to the different cheeses in the area.
