This is an overtly juicy red, easy to drink, with soft, light tannins and lots of blackberry fruit. It’s a lovely dark, damson colour and can be drunk just on its own or with good solid fare. The diet locally is very much traditional and unprocessed, with lots of pulses and fresh veg, lamb chops and sheep’s cheese, so it ties in with a lot of what we have on offer.
Grape: Tempranillo
Alc: 13%
Veg status: vegan
sulphite levels: total sulphites are 42 mg/ltr which is pretty low, so combined with the soft nature of the tannins, this should be easy on your head or stomach.
