Ay Paella
I love pink wine with paella. This week I had a Marques de Caceres 2005 Rioja Rosada, made from Tempranillo and Garnacha.
It’s exuberantly pink, bringing cheer on even the glummest days. It smells clean and with quite a hit of redcurrants and raspberries along with a lightly floral aroma.
It’s dry with a medium acidity, making it far more suited to food than California’s pinkies. There’s a touch of tannin which gives it a bit of body, and 13.5% alcohol boosts that. The fruitiness carries through with more fresh berry flavours.
At around £7 it makes for a great wine with food, and the screwcap just begs to be taken out on picnics in the summertime.
