From the people who bring you the famous Federico Paternina Banda Azul here’s another really well made wine.
Soft tannic structure, full bodied, velvety and fruity.
We had it with a Chicken Pasta, equally at home with a Red Meat.
€12 on a half-case deal in O’Briens.
From one of the top 10 volume producers in Spain via Tesco, this potable Red is full, fruity and tasty. Good mouthfeel, slightly tart fruit, long stalagtite legs – good value package all round.
Tempranillo, Shiraz, Grenache blend.
Nice solid Rioja – a blend of 70% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacha and 10% Graciano.
John and I both enjoyed this in Quatros – the first meal since March lockdown.

This rose is a cool €3.99 in Tesco.
Hugely enjoyable and refreshing in this glorious heat, a nice light slightly fruity Rose.

Vincent brought this to dinner.
The original and still the best

Perfectly acceptable, fruity and smooth Spanish number, I would considering serving the next one chilled in this weather.
€11 marked down to €9 in a Dunnes Saver Deal.
Big fans: we prefer this standard table wine to the more expensive Campo Reserva: delicious, dry, distinctive oak taste.
This goes with anything for any occasion.
