Castillo cuzcurrita Senorio reserva red 2021

From Castillo Cuzcurrita Senorio in Spain, this dry red wine is built around Tempranillo from the 2021 vintage. Tempranillo is Spain's noble red grape, giving medium- to full-bodied wines with savory red and dark fruit, leather and a structure that ages gracefully. Spain has more vines than any country on earth, and a style for every mood — from cool Atlantic whites to the warm, oak-aged reds it's famous for. The 'Reserva' on the label usually means it's a step-up selection given a little extra aging before release. It's a friendly all-rounder — lovely with roast chicken, pork, mushroomy dishes or a bowl of tomatoey pasta. Pop it open at cool room temperature — a brief chill on a hot day doesn't hurt.
