Castillo de Benizar Tempranillo 2023

Intense cherry-red colour with violet tones. It has elegant aromas of wild fruit. On the palate it is lively, full tasting, with deep flavours and very well-structured. A red wine with a long finish.

This wine calls for an array of meaty dishes but will also impress when spicy dishes and roasted root vegetables are served up. Excellent with feta and spinach spanakopita, honey glazed pork ribs, middle eastern tagine.

Best served at 15 – 18°C.
