Raices 2023 Airen
Fresh and fruit-led, with a light herbal edge giving the palate definition. The style is direct and uncomplicated, favouring clean fruit and easy refreshment over weight or elaborate texture. Serve well chilled with grilled prawns, simple fish dishes, green salads, vegetable tapas or young cheeses; its straightforward profile makes it an easy glass for relaxed lunches and casual meals.
Raices 2024 Tempranillo Valdepenas
Red berry fruit, plum and white pepper open with gentle spice and a measured touch of wood. Medium-bodied and approachable, the palate balances ripe fruit with fresh acidity and soft tannins. The finish remains savoury and fruit-led rather than heavy. Serve with grilled pork, roast vegetables, cured meats or a simple tomato-based pasta.
