Wine Chorizo — Chorizo al Vino Tinto at Taperia La Mina
Our Wine Chorizo (Chorizo al Vino Tinto) is a showstopper tapa that captures the bold, rustic flavors of Spanish cuisine. Premium Asturian chorizo is gently simmered in robust red wine with sliced garlic, bay leaf, and grilled onion until the sausage is infused with the wine’s rich, fruity depth and the sauce reduces to a glossy, spoonable glaze.
The Magic of Chorizo and Wine
The combination of chorizo and red wine is a match made in Spanish culinary heaven. As the chorizo simmers, it releases its signature smoky paprika oils into the wine, while the wine’s tannins and fruit flavors penetrate the sausage. The result is a dish of extraordinary depth — the spicy, smoky chorizo enhanced by the wine’s complexity, with a sauce that begs to be soaked up with crusty bread.
Our Preparation Method
At Taperia La Mina, we use semi-cured Asturian chorizo, which has the perfect balance of spice and smokiness. The sausages are sliced and seared in olive oil until they begin to brown. We add sliced garlic, a bay leaf, and a generous pour of quality red wine. The mixture simmers gently until the wine reduces into a thick, luscious sauce. A sprinkle of fresh parsley adds the final touch.
How to Enjoy Wine Chorizo
This dish is best served piping hot with plenty of crusty bread for mopping up the incredible sauce. It pairs magnificently with a glass of the same red wine used in cooking. For a complete Spanish feast, serve it alongside our Patatas Bravas and Padrón Peppers. Explore Spain’s boldest flavors at Taperia La Mina.
