Real Compania de Vinos Tempranillo 2016

Beautiful deep primary colour, floral aromas of rose and violet and bright red fruit. The palate is modern, vibrant and harmonious with dark fruits of blackcurrant and plum. From the home of flamenco, paella and tapas, here is a real taste of Spain with all the personality and complexity of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao.

Classic Tempranillo with all the hallmark, velvety, toasty flavours that have made Rioja such a hit. The grapes come from the old vineyards in La Mancha, rare in such a modestly priced wine, and key to its popularity and recent Trophy winning history. The Tempranillo variety expresses like none other the true spirit of Spain: being powerful and robust, while at the same time delicate and full of attraction. Popular and noble, profound and festive, traditional whilst radically contemporary.
