Tempranillo is the most well-known red wine grape of Northern Spain, particularly from the Rioja region. The Kenneth Volk 2012 Tempranillo was produced from the Paso Robles AVA on California’s Central Coast, where the varietal has had great success. The wine offers aromas of strawberries and confectionery spices that lead into flavors of vanilla and plum on the palate. This Tempranillo is well structured with fruit and tannins and has a savory, dusty finish.

Recommended Food Pairings

Chile Rellenos al Horno

Tip: use good quality thick-fleshed canned chiles. Make a slit down the side and spread them flat. Line the baking dish, then spoon the filling over instead of trying to stuff them. Bell peppers should be used only in desperation. The following recipe gives both the customary meat version and an optional cheese version. Pair with the 2012 Kenneth Volk Tempranillo.

Roasted Sweet Potato Chili

Warm and inviting, this sweet potato chili will have you going back for seconds! The bold flavors of the chili would pair wonderfully with Opolo's 2013 Tempranillo or 2013 Sangiovese.
