“Cariñena is home to some of the best value reds in Spain, if not the world,” declares Decanter. After you try El Bombero, we bet you’ll agree. It’s a BIG, juicy fruit bomb from Javier Domeque and his prized, 60-year-old Garnacha vines.

Beyond the label

Like BIG-flavored reds? You’ll love this huge customer favorite. El Bombero Garnacha has an ancient-vine power and silky richness usually associated with regions like France’s Châteauneuf-du-Pape or Australia’s Barossa Valley—an intensity that’s seriously rare in a wine at this price.

Javier Domeque is the No. 1 winemaker in remote, rugged Cariñena, which Decanter says “is home to some of the best value reds in Spain.” This pride-and-joy gem takes its strength from Javier’s 60-year-old Garnacha vines. While painfully low-yielding and challenging to maintain, their payoff is high: each grape is a knot of ripe, intensely concentrated flavor.

You’ll enjoy enticing aromas of red berry, spice and black currant, backed by luscious, juicy mouthfuls of sun-ripe black fruit. With such intense, warming flavors, El Bombero (‘the firefighter’ in Spanish) has the weight to match hearty beef stews and rich, meaty pastas. Or, enjoy a smooth glass on its own.

A quick word to the wise—those 60-year-old vines? They produce a tiny amount of grapes, which means there’s only so much of El Bombero to go around.
