Wine of the Week - La Riada Garnacha Tempranillo 2011


It's been a while since I've featured a wine of the week post, I've been drinking alot of Belgian fruit beers recently and not so much of the wine (apart from the other weekend when we had guests and we did drink ALOT of wine but I forgot to take any pictures, oops!!).

I recently bought a case of this Spanish red to pop in the cupboard when we need a bit of 'plonk'. The case cost me a bargain price of £23.98 at a local wine warehouse, so each bottle costs £3.99 each and for the taste of it I think that's a fab price. This particular wine consists of 2 different grape varieties, garnacha provides structure and depth to the wine while the tempranillo lovely rich fruit flavours. This is a pleasantly soft wine which is smooth and easy to drink and is a great budget bottle of booze. So good we have only 2 bottles left!! 

Lots more wine of the weeks to come in the run up to christmas and my birthday :-)

Are you a red, white, rose drinker or do you prefer something other than wine?

  1. I'm not a huge wine drinker would love to see more wine posts though would be great to learn more about wine and the flavours etc I like sweet drinks so and often find wine dry and too bitter tasting xx

    1. Some rose wines are delicious, I love them all, love a nice cold glass of white in the summer and a fruity red in the winter, and mulled wine is fabulous in the winter too :-) X

    1. As far as reasonably priced plonk goes this one is a winner for sure :-) X
