Finca Carelio Tempranillo Barrica 2015
About the wine
This cracking Spanish crowdpleaser started as a mistake...
-
This wine originated from a serious ‘whoopsie’. Its first vintage was accidentally bottled outside Ribera del Duero violating strict Spanish wine law. Don’t worry no one got sacked. Instead, what was originally a £15 red became a great value ‘table wine’ – and promptly a mega hit!
- Inspired, the winemakers celebrate this error every year by combining Ribera del Duero juice with wine from outside the region to create this rich, dark and brooding red. Expect a decadent velvety drop, packed with blackberries and a soft hint of vanilla.
- We’ve had the chance to cherry-pick the best of Majestic wines to plug gaps in our range. This wine wasn’t funded by Angels, so doesn’t carry an Angel saving. But thanks to Majestic’s buying power, you still get it at a snip!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Naked Marketplace
Every week, on our travels or back at HQ, we come across wines that taste amazing but weren’t made for us by Naked winemakers
At the price and quality, we wouldn’t be doing our job if we didn’t make them available to you. So we list them without a winemaker or a story under Naked Marketplace
They’re generally parcels and one-offs, so once they’re gone, they’re gone!
