Castillo Albai Spanish Red
A value Rioja red, poured plain and honest in Commack.
The story behind Castillo Albai
Rioja is Spain's best known red wine region, set in the north near the Ebro River, and its reds are built largely on Tempranillo. The grape gives red and dark fruit, moderate tannin and a savory, earthy streak, and Rioja is classified by time in barrel and bottle: Joven, Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva.
Castillo Albai Rioja is a straightforward, everyday expression of that style, the kind of red we keep on the shelf for a Tuesday dinner. We stock it here in Commack, one or two bottles at a time.
