    With more than 340 items, Red Wine is the most extensive category in the wine range. It includes wines from the regions D.O. Rioja, D.O. Ribera del Duero, D.O.P. Abadía Retuerta, D.O. Mallorca and D.O. Jumilla. The wines are divided by level of ageing into young (Joven), Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva - as the category rises, so does the time spent ageing in barrel and bottle, and usually the price as well. The most distinctive examples include Aalto from Ribera del Duero, Artadi and Abadia Retuerta. The choice of a red wine is governed mainly by the level of ageing and by how robust the dish it will be served with is.

    How to find your way around this category

    The category combines wines from both established and smaller Spanish regions. D.O. Rioja and D.O. Ribera del Duero are among the most prestigious red wine regions, D.O. Mallorca offers a more modern, fruitier style (for example the 4Kilos range), and D.O.P. Abadía Retuerta is an independent winery outside the classic D.O. system, focusing on premium blends.

    The level of ageing is decisive when choosing a wine. The longer a wine has aged in barrel and bottle, the fuller and more complex its flavour - and usually the higher its price.

    Levels of ageing - how to choose by flavour

    The classification of ageing differs slightly between individual D.O. regions, but in general the following approximate division, used mainly in Rioja and Ribera del Duero, applies:

    Category Typical ageing time Character Recommended use
    Joven (young wine) No ageing or only brief ageing Fresh, fruity, drunk young Everyday dining, tapas
    Crianza Approx. 2 years, part of that in barrel More balanced, a gentle woody note Grilled meat, jamón
    Reserva Approx. 3 years, longer in barrel Fuller body, more complex flavour Matured cheeses, red meat
    Gran Reserva 5 years and more, long ageing in barrel and bottle The most complex, velvety tannins Special occasions

    The exact ageing requirements differ according to the specific D.O. region - always check the ageing category of your chosen wine in its description.

    Storage and serving

    Store red wine somewhere dark and cool, ideally at 12-16 °C, with the bottle lying down. It is served somewhat cooler than room temperature, at around 16-18 °C. Fuller-bodied Reserva and Gran Reserva wines benefit from decanting, which helps to open up their aroma.

    Older Gran Reserva vintages may have sediment settled in the bottle - stand them upright for several hours before serving and decant carefully.

    Frequently asked questions

    What is the difference between Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva?
    The difference lies mainly in the ageing time - Crianza ages for the shortest time (usually around 2 years), Reserva for longer (around 3 years) and Gran Reserva for the longest (5 years and more), with a corresponding increase in the complexity of the flavour.
    What is the ideal serving temperature for red wine?
    Around 16-18 °C, that is slightly below room temperature. Lighter young wines can also be served somewhat cooler.
    Why is decanting recommended for older vintages?
    Decanting aerates the wine and helps to open up its aroma, and at the same time separates the settled sediment that naturally forms in older vintages.
    How long does an opened bottle of red wine keep?
    In the fridge with the cork replaced, usually 3-5 days, after which it loses its fruitiness and aroma.
    Which red wine goes well with jamón?
    A wine in the Crianza or Reserva category with balanced tannins works best - they cut through the fattiness of the jamón but do not overwhelm its delicate flavour.
