With Rioja wine, sharing is caring
Nothing quite compares to a lovely glass of red wine after a long and tiring day. The smooth flavours of Rioja wine will keep you sipping throughout the evening so it is best to make sure that your cupboards are stocked.
A popular wine that will not break the bank
Often associated with a French Bordeaux, Rioja wine is actually found in the southern region of Spain, and with one sip of this wine you will feel as though you are on holiday in Spain. This red wine makes for easy drinking and is predominantly crafted from Tempranillo grapes, making it similar to a Cabernet Sauvignon, but as smooth as a Pinot Noir at the same time. Not only is this a great wine that has gained popularity over the last few years, but it also has a very reasonable price tag, especially compared to some other similar wines. It’s a win-win wine!
Wine and food equals happiness
Rioja food and wine pairing is something you should know about because this is a wine that you can easily serve at dinner parties, paired with some lovely home-cooked or comfort food. For example, roasted loin of venison, rib-eye steak or even some Chinese will pair well, and the wine will help to bring out the gorgeous flavours of the dishes. Some of the delightful and delicious flavours that come through when sipping Rioja wine include vanilla, strawberry and cherries. Rioja wine is definitely a cupboard staple so stock up and enjoy how easily this wine will go down.
