AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: Gilbert & Gaillard

AWARDED 90/100 POINTS & 4.5 STARS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

If you're fond of silky reds with lots of easy berry character, then Montfeliz Tempranillo is a 'must have'. Like a young Rioja in style. Pure Tempranillo, the prized grape of Rioja, it is brimful with juicy plums, redcurrant and black cherries, made by the super talented Rivero family.

Food Pairing: Enjoy alongside tapas, garlic mushrooms, roasted vegetables with feta, or chicken. It's great as a glass on its own, too.
