Description:
Compañía de Vinos Telmo Rodríguez grew out of the partnership between Telmo Rodríguez and Pablo Eguzkiza, two winemakers with deep experience in Burgundy and Rioja. They work across many of Spain's classic regions, always with the native grapes of each place, and are widely credited with helping to revive forgotten vineyards and village wines across the country.

Corriente is their everyday Rioja, a blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha and Graciano aged for around 12 months in a mix of barrels.

Tasting Notes:
Raspberry and cherry with a hint of spice. Fresh, straightforward and playful on the palate, a Rioja that doesn't overcomplicate things.

Food Pairing:
Lamb chops, roast chicken, burgers and tapas.
