Manyana
The people of Spain are easy-going, friendly, and subscribe to a philosophy of enjoying the moment. And that’s the inspiration for Manyana wines. Manyana is a versatile, food-friendly wine to share with a meal, or with friends, yesterday, today, or manyana. Salud!

Characteristics
Bright red, easy drinking, fruit driven wine with herbal aromas and flavors bursting with ripe strawberries and plums. The aged Crianza offers hints of vanilla spice and tobacco from 6 months of oak aging, while "young" regular Manyana exudes youthful vibrance.

Food Pairings
Offering ripe tannins combined with an acidity to go with spicy paella, meats, antipasto platters, tomato dishes, and savory tapas.

Wine Growing Conditions
Manyana is crafted from the robust Tempranillo grape, Spain’s most venerable red varietal—as typical on any Spanish table as Merlot is in the U.S. The Carinena region of Northern Spain is an area situated to take advantage of both the cooling influence of the Atlantic Ocean to the north and the sunny Mediterranean to the east. Some aged wines of Carinena, like Manyana Crianza, can be taken for classic Riojas, only 150km away. Like Rioja, Carinena is known for Tempranillo, although here Carinena finds distinction as vines are rooted in a melee of soils from stone to clay rather than the ubiquitous chalky soil of Rioja. Carinena produces wines of the quality recognition, Denominacion de Origen.
What is also very good about this wine it is very affordable.Enjoy it this summer.
