Bodegas Parra Jimenez, 'Larutan', Tempranillo, Castilla, Spain

A wonderfully uncomplicated 100% Tempranillo from brothers Francisco and Javier Parra, whose family vineyards around Las Mesas in La Mancha are farmed organically and biodynamically.

Larutan is all about purity, fruit and drinkability rather than oak or extraction – exactly the sort of wine that disappears remarkably quickly once opened. Juicy and smooth, with generous aromas of blackberry, black cherry and raspberry, followed by ripe red fruit and a touch of spice on the palate. Medium-bodied, soft and rounded, but with enough freshness to keep everything lively and balanced.

Fantastically versatile and ridiculously easy to drink.
