For lovers of big, smooth reds, El Bombero is a top choice. And for over 20 years fans have sought it out for that winning combination of 15% power and velvety richness usually associated with the powerhouse wines of Châteauneuf du Pape. They do share one key ingredient: Grenache, or Garnacha as it's called west of the Pyrenees!If Garnacha were a tourist, it would be first on the sunbed every morning. This spicy red grape thrives under intense heat. And in the remote hills of rugged Cariñena, the sun shines without mercy. No fancy châteaux are found there, but, as Decanter notes, that doesn't stop it being home to some of the best value reds in the world.A great red from winemaker Javier Domeque - ideal solo and versatile with food.
