Petit Verum Tempranillo 2022 by Petit Verum / Altosa Wines from Castilla–La Mancha is a vibrant, organically grown Spanish red that delivers heaps of flavour and value out of those limestone soils and hot continental days. This 2022 Petit Verum Tempranillo is made purely in stainless steel, so it’s all about bright fruit, smooth texture and easy drinking rather than heavy oak.

In the glass you’re looking at an intense red colour with violet hues, backed by ripe red fruits – plum and currant – plus a little nuttiness and a soft cocoa note on the finish. The palate is medium‑bodied with polished tannins and a silky, supple feel, giving plenty of flavour without heaviness, and making each glass feel super approachable yet satisfying.

On the table, this is a cracker with pasta and lighter sauces, roast lamb or kid, sausages, stews and even richer river fish, plus an easy match with soft cheeses and casual tapas plates. Serve it around 14–16 °C and you’ve got a versatile, great‑value Tempranillo that will slot in perfectly for weeknight dinners and relaxed long lunches alike.
