A vibrant, full flavoured red from a Cariñena cellar that regularly receives impressive points from Spain’s Guía Peñín. Pure Garnacha, Altogrado has an abundance of juicy ripe raspberry fruit of tasty intensity. A deliciously drinkable, moreish drop.

The region of Cariñena is “home to some of the best value reds of Spain, if not the world” (Decanter) and this gorgeously intense, ripe fruit red is from one of the most awarded cellars there. High up and inland, the Cariñena region (confusingly it’s also the name of a grape!) enjoys a climate both Continental and Mediterranean. In lay terms, that means plenty of sunshine, but not too hot. Add in the grand age of the vines and the stony soils and it’s the perfect recipe for intensely flavoured, well balanced reds. Viña Altogrado in a nutshell. Made from old vine Garnacha grapes, this red is seriously long and brightly fruity – the ideal partner for traditional Spanish lamb dishes, grilled meats or tapas. A great choice for a barbecue, too.

"Enough body to compliment steak, lamb and Mexican food. Best when allowed to breathe - great wine!" 5-Star Online Review
