I bought a case based on the good reviews I read but unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this wine at all. It was undrinkable. I am trying to use it up by cooking with it.

Excellent everyday wine!

This review is for the 2011 vintage

I 'discovered' this wine about a year ago and have bought (and enjoyed) quite a few cases. It isn't a fine wine but is a really excellent everyday tipple : it is very drinkable with any red meat and cheese and it is reliably consistent. Watch out for it to come up at half-price and stock up!

Well rounded and easy drinking un-oaked wine suitable for every day use. I've now ordered a fourth case of this, which I prefer to the Gran Famililia oaked Rioja which I have also tried and is very good in its own right. This seems to be good with all types of food and is a bargain at the special offer price. Highly recommended.

Found this wine by accident and was pleased with the generality of it. Every day drinking (if you so wish) with food of any sort. (I am a red wine drinker).

you get a little bit more than what you pay for with this one, a decent nose, half a finish, and all told fair value.

By Incognito44

Male, aged 55-64

Well balanced red wine that is suitable for accompanying a meal or drinking on its own.It is medium bodied, not too paked. Medium depth. Has a pleasant bouquet - I get blackberries in the bouquet.I think it is slightly rough at the edges but it has no nasty after taste and it certainly more than acceptable and indeed pleasant. Very well priced and I would certainly buy again.

nothing offensive going on here.......

By Boroimbiber
12 March 2013
Explorer
Male, aged 55-64

This review is for the 2011 vintage

Lots of positive comment here already so people are buying lots of this. We couldn’t have said that about cheap-end Spanish wine 30 years ago but now £3.99 gets us a pleasant tipple of Spain’s ubiquitous grape variety. That’s a 50% off price mind so I’d have to say I’d nose around and probably choose something else if I was being required to pay full price. But hey, there’s nothing offensive going on here, just open and drink and if you don’t finish the bottle it’s interesting to see what you have next day after a 24 hour breath!

A Cracker!

By Adrian53

I love red wine and this is a fab little number especially when it is half price unsophisticated . easy drinking everyday wine. At £3.99 it has to be one of the best value wines available. I always order a couple of cases when doing my wine order. Go on have a go!

Ok wine

By Wilson47

Dabbler
Female, aged 45-54

This was pleasant enough I guess but a bit disappointing for a Tempranillo. I can normally guarantee a Tempranillo will be a rich tasting delicious wine but this was a little "light" tasting for me. I wouldn't mind buying it again but I have tasted a lot nicer ones.

Good value when on sale

By Hengist

Happily drunk a case when on sale. Excellent value at 3.99. Pleasant memories of Spain. Ordering some more to make a change from our usual heavier new world reds. Not sure how much Tesco would sell when at full price. I would expect somethinquite grand for 7.99.

I have tasted better

By broadbanded

Dabbler
Male, aged 55-64

This review is for the 2011 vintage

Bought this because it was recommended in a newspaper review. But very disappointed. To me it seemed to have too much tanin. And just didn't taste nice. My favourite in this price range is the Gran Tesoro that Tesco used to stock (is it coming back in????) which is fantastic value for money. I should emphasise that I am not an expert and my views are based upon my limited experience of wine. Furthermore, I usually drink white wine so I am not strong on knowledge of reds.
