What it tastes like.
Castillo de Albai is the entry-level Rioja from Pagos del Rey, a well-respected Spanish wine group with vineyards across the country's major regions. The Tempranillo Joven is an unwooded, drink-young style of Rioja — the daily-drinking expression of Spain's most famous red grape, made with fresh red fruit rather than the oak-driven character of the Reserva and Gran Reserva styles.
The 2021 vintage was cool and balanced in Rioja. Expect a bright cherry-red colour with vibrant violet highlights, and an open, fruit-forward nose of red berry, ripe strawberry and a touch of stone fruit. The palate is soft, juicy and easy-drinking, with no oak influence to mask the freshness — a long, clean, persistent finish.
Pair with tapas, charcuterie boards, tomato-based pasta, pizza, grilled chicken or simple roast meats. 13.5% ABV.

Before you checkout.

Yes. Any eligible mix of six bottles can count toward the mixed-six offer at cart level.
Is the bottle held for me after adding to cart?

Tell me when the next vintage lands.
We'll email you when the next release of this wine arrives. Once, no marketing follow-up unless you ask.
Before you open it.
A few practical answers for storage, delivery, and choosing the right bottle.
How should I store it before opening?
Keep it somewhere cool, dark, and steady. Wine prefers cellar temperature; spirits are happier away from heat and direct sunlight.
How long will it keep once opened?
Wine changes quickly after opening; spirits and liqueurs generally hold longer if capped tightly and kept out of heat. If it is a special bottle, ask before opening and the team can give product-specific guidance.
Can I ask for a similar bottle?
Yes. Contact Caravan with this bottle name and the occasion; the team can suggest a close match, a safer gift, or a step up or down in price.
How is it packed for delivery?
Orders are packed in bottle-safe cartons. If anything arrives damaged or looks wrong, contact the team with your order number and a photo so they can sort the next step.
What about hot weather shipping?
The team avoids making one-size-fits-all promises around heat and carrier timing. For heat-sensitive or cellar bottles, contact Caravan before ordering and they can advise the safest dispatch window.
