Wine's from Rioja in Spain has become one my favourite wines since moving to Sweden, where I have access to wines from all over the world. This one is no different. Full of flavour and absolutely delicious. My rule for Tempranillo is however still to rather have it with food, than alone.

Hi. I have just got a bottle of this and want to store it for some time(2-3 months) at home. Any idea about the best way to keep it safe and tasty? Do i need to refrigerate it or a normal room temperature of 22 C is fair enough?
I was just back in South Africa for a few weeks, and heard a cellar master give advise to a client who wants to store some wine, and it's basically this. A dark place. The temperature is not of utmost importance, if it is constant, but around 16-18 degrees Celsius is good. If it's against a wall, make sure that wall is not an outside wall, as they tend to vary in temperature as the sun goes up and down in the day time, so choose a wall that is an inner wall. Other than that, 3 months is not so long so you should be OK.
