A lovely rendition of Rioja on the nose fragrant with sweet spice and pepper. The palate is bright and expressive with a burst of mouth-filling ripe berry flavours. Textbook varietal flavours of cherry cola and smoked spice flood the palate before supple tannins and subtle oak provide definition to the impressively long finish. Pair with a meat-based paella with plenty of smoked paprika.Castilla La Mancha: The vast, high and dry plains of Castilla la Mancha comprise over 50% of Spain’s vineyards. The ancient soils and high altitude ensures the richly flavoured fruit maintains structure and tannin. Vineyards planted on the slopes of mountain ranges in the north and north east add a degree of elegance to the wines.

I guess you get what you pay for .. slightly hot and hard, not esp. concentrated and with a confected fruit character. Nothing special.

Such a tasty treat, particularly for the price. I was keen to try something different, after all it's usually the lower quality end of the spectrum of Aussie reds from the big producers that you get at this price point so it was time to branch out. I am most satisfied with this, it has ample flavour and body and I would purchase again.
