Garnacha / Grenache

Garnacha (Spanish) or Grenache (French) is a red grape variety believed to have originated in Spain, though now widely planted throughout Southern France, Spain, and other warm wine regions. It typically produces medium-bodied to full-bodied wines with high alcohol, moderate tannins, and flavors of red berries, white pepper, and herbs, often with a characteristic spicy quality. Thriving in hot, dry climates, Grenache is commonly used in GSM blends (Grenache-Syrah-Mourvèdre), rosé wines from Provence, and is the primary grape in renowned appellations like Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Eguiluz Rioja

Bodegas Eguiluz

Rioja is Spain's most famous wine region, and Bodegas Eguiluz crafts a classic expression that showcases why these wines have captivated drinkers for centuries. This traditional blend is dominated by Tempranillo (Spain's noble grape) with supporting roles from Graciano and Garnacha to add complexity and structure. What makes this Rioja special is its perfect balance between tradition and drinkability. It's aged in American oak barrels following regional tradition, but not so long that the wine becomes a vanilla bomb – the fruit remains the star of the show. The Eguiluz family has been growing grapes in Rioja for generations, focusing on sustainable farming practices that allow their terroir to shine through. This wine offers a taste of Spanish heritage at a price that won't require a second mortgage. It's the vinous equivalent of that neighborhood restaurant where the food is consistently excellent, the atmosphere is welcoming, and you always leave wondering why you don't visit more often.
