An everyday drinking, soft, rounded, juicy red, with rich ripe raspberry & herbal flavours. The flying pig on the label is from a song Spanish children sing when somebody has asked for something which is impossible to realise, has a dream or says something absurd.
‘The least expensive wine to be recommended in these pages in close to 30 years, the 2009 La Granja Tempranillo is a 100,000 case cuvee made at a co-operative in Carinena. Dark ruby colored, it offers up a nose of red cherry accompanied by a whiff of incense. Sweet, ripe, and tasty on the palate, this nicely balanced effort will deliver uncomplicated, straight-ahead pleasure over the next 2-3 years.’ Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, June 2010.
