El Ninot de Paper Tinto 2025

For soft, juicy enjoyment with plenty of ripe dark fruit and a hint of spice, this has got things nicely sewn up. A blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Monastrell, it's all about the fruit - blackberries, maybe a touch of plum, with a little savoury spice in the mix. Some of it spends a bit of time in oak, bringing a gentle roundness that smooths everything out nicely. Bright, juicy, and easy-going, it's the epitome of a good everyday red.

A youthful, fruity all-rounder that's spot-on with grilled sausages, chorizo stew, or a rich tomato pasta. Juicy dark fruit and a hint of spice keep things lively - no dish-dominating ego here, just good company.

Founded near Valencia in 1927, Bodegas Murviedro has grown into one of the region's most forward-thinking wineries. Much of that is down to head winemaker Víctor Marqués, whose focus on quality has helped shake off the area's former backwater reputation. Their range is impressively broad, making the most of both indigenous and international grape varieties. By blending modern techniques with the region's traditional character, they produce wines that are fresh, approachable, and unmistakably Spanish, showing that innovation and authenticity can go hand in hand.
