Rioja, Spain

Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano

This is Rioja, but with a fresh twist — no fuss, just pure, juicy fruits. Kaori means “fragrance” in Japanese, and it fits: this red is all about bright cherry, raspberry and a subtle floral lift. It’s smooth, medium-bodied and super easy to drink, whether lightly chilled or not, with just enough grip to hold its own at the table.

A winner with tapas, grilled veg, sushi or a Friday night burger. Or just crack it open on a couch-night with mates — it’s that kind of wine.
