Tasting Notes We got this wine as part of the Tesco Finest ‘dine in for £10’ meal deal, so it’s pretty good value considering it’s priced at £7 if bought alone, whereas you also get a main, side dish and dessert included in the deal. Obviously they don’t put the best wines into this sort […]

Embeleso
Tasting Notes This is a lovely smooth red wine produced by Gorka Etxebarria in the Rioja region of Spain. It’s a crianza, which means that it has been aged for at least twenty-four months with at least six of them in oak barrels at the winery. It was a good accompaniment to the roast pork […]
