As the name suggests, this is a wine that doesn’t take itself too seriously. It’s here for an entertaining time, not a long cellaring time. Sommeliers are going to go wild at the multiple food pairing options it brings. Spice-filled, soft and friendly in blue fruits, red and black berries, red liquorice with just a touch of black pepper, it cruises along enjoying the moment and dispensing some happiness along the way. It’s a feel-good kind of wine, medium bodied, approachable and well-priced, showing tempranillo – as if it needs to be stated – as the ultimate tapas-friendly wine that it can so easily be.
