Spanish Red. No Nonsense.

Tastes Like: Ripe Red Berries. Wild Strawberry. Black Cherry. Liquorice. Smooth Tannins.

Big on fruit, easy on the fuss. This is the sort of Spanish red that knows exactly what it’s here for: juicy berry flavours, a lovely lick of liquorice and a smooth, balanced finish. No need to overthink it — just get the glasses out.

Made by Finca Fella in Alpera, Albacete, south-eastern Spain, Cala Rey brings together Tempranillo and Syrah. The vineyards sit at altitude, where the cooler mountain breezes help preserve freshness while the sunny Spanish climate gets those grapes nicely ripe.

The two varieties are fermented separately in stainless steel before being blended together, keeping the focus firmly on the fruit rather than oak. Expect a deep ruby colour, ripe red berries and wild fruit on the nose, followed by a juicy, fruit-forward palate with hints of liquorice and a balanced, medium-length finish.

A proper all-rounder for midweek dinners, weekend barbecues and everything in between. Pour it alongside grilled meats, tomatoey pasta, roast vegetables or a board of mature cheese. Uncomplicated Spanish drinking, sorted.
