Although best known as the backbone of Rioja's rich, oak-matured reds, Tempranillo also excels when vinified using more modern methods that preserve its supple, naturally jammy fruit character, creating some brilliant value everyday wines such as this. Classic Tempranillo notes of dark cherry & blackcurrant are lifted by a hint of dried flowers & spice. Superbly balanced, the fruits of the forest flavours are perfectly complemented by soft tannins. Approachable & good value, to be drunk now with barbecues & steaks.
