Cariñena DOP, Aragón, Spain – 100% Cariñena (Carignan)
Made from 40‑year‑old vines grown at ~650 m in the rocky, stony soils of El Pedregal, offers a fragrant nose of sour cherry, red plum, strawberry, dried herbs, and violet. Medium-to-full-bodied on the palate, it’s balanced yet vibrant, with refreshing acidity, fine dusty tannins, and a lingering finish marked by baking spice and mineral notes. Pair this with lamb dishes, rich pasta, game meats, or Middle Eastern–spiced fare—its food-friendly.
