About this wine

Organic

El Cuidador Tempranillo is a classic organic Spanish red, bursting with vibrant dark berries, plum, and subtle savoury spice. Juicy and full of flavour, the palate is beautifully balanced by dusty tannins and bright acidity, delivering a smooth, lingering finish. Exceptionally drinkable and versatile, it pairs perfectly with slow-roasted lamb shoulder or chargrilled vegetables.

Producer: El Cuidador

El Cuidador literally translates to the 'carer' or 'caretaker', and in a sense that is what a winemaker is; a caretaker of the vineyard. In this case, Javier Muria is the patient carer, nurturing organic vineyards to their fullest potential and coaxing every last bit of flavour out of grapes that have bathed in the Spanish sun.

These wines typify the modern Spanish attitude to winemaking – they are fresh and vibrant wines made with care and with attention to organic viticulture, turning out delicious food friendly reds that are true to their variety. In the range is a Garnacha and a Tempranillo.

Food pairing suggestions

Enjoy it best with pork dishes like roast pork, tenderloin, and pork chops. Smoked meats, blue cheese, mushrooms, onion, garlic, tomato, capsicum, and aromatic spices like anise, turmeric, saffron, fennel, and ginger bring out its richness.

It also pairs well with grilled or barbecued lamb, roasted chicken or duck, and cured meats such as salami and prosciutto. Creamy cheeses like brie and camembert, pasta, beans, peas, black pepper, fresh herbs, potatoes, and crusty bread complement the wine perfectly.
