Herederos Lurton Rosado 2007/8
Castilla Y Leon, Spain
7.35€
The region of Castilla Y Leon encompasses both the fine wine areas of Rioja and Ribera del Duero, the grape here is known locally as Tinta de Toro but is none other than Spain’s celebrity red – Tempranillo. The vibrant deep pink colour is bottled Spanish sunshine, bursting with bright red fruits such as strawberry & raspberry, but with an added layer of mandarin and spicy pepper. This is the perfect versatile lunch wine: crisp and cold, just like a White wine, yet with bouncier fruit and structure, yet more refreshing than a Red.
Drink with: Basque Chicken with Peppers; Chorizo & Chickpeas; brilliant with Turkey; any Tapas & Mezze and a wow with Chicken Satay.
