El Bombero 2025


For lovers of big, smooth red wines, El Bombero is a top choice.
It comes from Cariñena, a hot, arid region of Spain where sun-loving grapes like Garnacha (the same as Châteauneuf’s Grenache) achieve amazing ripeness. Ancient vines, hot summers and a lack of rain mean fewer grapes, which in turn means superb flavour intensity.
There are no fancy châteaux around Cariñena, but that doesn’t stop it from being home to some of the best-value red wines in the world.
From winemaker Jesús Prieto, El Bombero is packed with spicy black fruit power and a rich warmth. Great on its own and a tasty choice for casseroles, full-flavoured pasta dishes, herby roast sausages and mash, and barbecues.
