Region
Cariñena is a Do (denomination of origin) in northern Spain. Winemaking in the area dates back to at least Roman times, and records from that era confirm that locals drank Cariñena wines mixed with honey. Cariñena is well known for its red wines, most notably Garnacha and white wines from Macabeo grapes.

Tasting Notes
An organic blend of Garnacha and Syrah from Carinena. A round, warming red with notes of sweet red cherries, plum, a touch of chocolate and subtle spice on the finish from the Syrah in the blend. Balanced, smooth and very easy to drink.
Food
Best served with BBQ meats.
