Reto Reserva rioja alta 2019

This dry red wine comes from Spain, built around Tempranillo from the 2019 vintage. New to Tempranillo? 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. It comes from Rioja, Spain's most famous red-wine region, beloved for its supple, oak-aged Tempranillo. 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. Best enjoyed at cool room temperature.
