Guide to icons

Cherries, dark fruits and some roasted spice dominate the nose and palate, finishing on appealing meaty notes. A cracking everyday Rioja that delivers notable fruit but with some depth.

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.
