Posada del Rey Tinto

Virtuoso winemaker Javier Murúa selects the finest Tempranillo for this delicious, easy drinking red

Classic ‘joven’ (young) Rioja style in the bottle – just the way the locals like it! But no sign of Rioja on the label? That’s right. You see, there's a secret to Posada del Rey.

Its fresh, un-oaked fruit (think juicy plums, redcurrant and black cherries) tells that it comes from the Rioja region. And although, technically, we can’t call it Rioja, we defy anyone to tell the difference. In our view, it offers a canny alternative and those who try it seem delighted with both quality and price.

No wonder it has such a large following and is among our most notable bestsellers. It’s 100% silky Tempranillo from the Alavesa and Alta regions - great for informal dinners with tapas, garlic mushrooms, roasted vegetables or chicken dishes.
