Rioja - and by that I mean red rioja - is one of the UK's best-loved wines and one of the easiest ones to match with food too.

None of you, I’m sure, can have failed to notice just how many different bottles of rosé are now available on the average supermarket shelf. From being purely a summer wine there are now rosés for almost every type of food and occasion.

Today is International Grenache Day, a celebration of a grape which is (often anonymously) responsible for some of the most generous and appealing reds in the wine world.

Chicken with sweet peppers and Tempranillo

Chicken with sweet peppers and Tempranillo

Posted on April 8 2008 at 09:51

I’m constantly amazed at the stream of good value reds that is coming out of Spain these days. Here’s another - La Copa Tempranillo 2005 from the up and coming Campo de Borja wine region which is situated in Aragon to the north west of Zaragoza. It appears to be made by a co-operative, the Cooperative de Santo Cristo de Magallon but is none the worse for that.

Absolutely GORGEOUS veg from @formerly_birch’s allotment including Jerusalem artichokes, squash, chard and celery leaf. Plus cider and homemade cider vinegar. If you’re anywhere near #templemeads station in the next hour or so it’s worth braving this utterly shitty weather for. (They’re at @hartsbakery Xmas market). . . . #veg #vegetables #greens #chard #jerusalemartichokes #cider #applecidervinegar #vinegar #bristolCheck out the hashtag #100yearswomensvoting to see a fantastic selection of images celebrating this historic event. This shot of Birmingham New Street station comes from @alphaworksb1 #regram. . . . #women #womenempowerment #womensrights #womensvote #publicart #birminghamSegovian suckling pig @sabor_ldn which feels like a little bit of Spain in the heart of London. Extraordinarily delicate sweet meat and crisp skin + exemplary chips. Also an amazing fish stew with skate and hard boiled eggs. First time I’ve been to the asador upstairs - feels like the best kind of home cooking @nieves_barragan1 @gemmabelleats. Lovely pre-Christmas treat. #guest. . . . #pork #sucklingpig #spanishfood #sabor #london #nievesbarraganSome things that come through the door you can live without but a large golden pat of butter from @fenfarmdairy isn’t one of them. Off to buy some crumpets. (Now acquired - see Stories!) . . . #butter #dairy #rawmilk #fenfarmdairy #bungay #suffolk #sample Follow on Instagram
