BOTTLE: Esteban Martín, Rojo 2023

Based in Aragón, Esteban Martín is a family-run winery with vineyards around Cariñena. They produce approachable wines that capture the warmth and generosity of the region, with the dry, continental climate giving the grapes plenty of spice, structure and depth. The estate focuses on sustainable vineyard management and modern winemaking to produce expressive, fruit-driven wines made for easy enjoyment. A vibrant and juicy Spanish red showing bright raspberry, plum and blackberry fruit layered with hints of cracked pepper and gentle spice from the Syrah. Garnacha provides softness and lift, while the Syrah adds structure and savoury depth. Medium-bodied with supple tannins and a smooth finish, this is an easy-drinking red that works beautifully with grilled meats, tapas or charcuterie.
