The Solar De Urbezo Reserva is a remarkable red wine from the Carinena region, showcasing a beautifully crafted blend of Cariñena, Merlot, Cabernet-Sauvignon, and Syrah. This vintage, hailing from 2003, exhibits a full-bodied character that is both inviting and expressive. With high acidity, it achieves a delightful balance that invigorates the palate while complementing its structure.

Tannins are notable yet well-integrated, providing a firm backbone to the wine without overwhelming its elegant profile. The wine is dry, making it incredibly versatile for pairing with various dishes, enhancing its appeal as a food-friendly choice for any occasion. This intricate wine is a reflection of the unique terroir of Carinena and showcases the exceptional potential of its grape varieties.

While its reputation as a serious wine destination was eclipsed by France and Italy for many years, ignoring Spain today means missing out on some of the world's most exciting wines.

Whether it is sparkling cavas from Catalonia, crisp Verdejos from Rueda, sublime Tempranillos from Ribera del Duero or inky Monastrells from Valencia, Spain has many wine styles to explore, all expressing the country's wildly unique terroir.
