El Bombero (187ml) 2021
Cariñena DO
No wonder Spain’s El Bombero is a regular Top 10 favourite. For over 20 years, fans have sought it out for its winning combination of velvety smoothness and intense richness, thanks to very old vines. Bundles of spicy raspberry and damson fruit.

The Wine
For lovers of big, smooth reds, El Bombero is a top choice. It comes from Cariñena, a hot, arid region in northeast Spain where sun-loving grapes like Garnacha (the same as Châteauneuf’s Grenache) achieve amazing ripeness. Ancient vines and a lack of rain mean fewer grapes, which in turn means far more flavour intensity. Exhibit A: El Bombero. There are no fancy châteaux around Cariñena, but, as Decanter magazine notes, that doesn’t stop the region from being home to some of the best value reds in the world. From award-winning winemaker Javier Domeque, El Bombero is packed with spicy black fruit power and a warm glow. Delicious on its own and a tasty choice for full-flavoured pasta dishes or herby sausages and mash.
"The Bomb(ero). Meaty, full-bodied red bursting with flavour"
