Description

Intense and ripe, with violets and black cherry verging on black olive, plus plenty of spice and a persistent note of cinnamon and vanilla. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with grainy tannins, bright acidity and real minerality. It opens beautifully with air and finishes long, pure and silky.

One of the first single-vineyard wines in Spain, from a 2.4-hectare plot on pure limestone in Laguardia, planted in 1945 by Juan Carlos López de Lacalle's grandfather. Fermented in open wooden vats and aged for 15 months in French oak.

A special-occasion bottle for roast rib of beef, venison or hard aged cheeses.

Rioja

Rioja, located in northern Spain, is one of the country’s most prestigious and renowned wine regions. The region benefits from a diverse climate with influences from both the Mediterranean and Atlantic, contributing to its varied wine styles.
Famous for its reds, primarily made from Tempranillo, which produce wines known for their depth, rich fruit flavours, and well-integrated oak characteristics, the region also produces notable blends incorporating Garnacha and Graciano. Rioja’s whites, including those from Viura and Malvasía, are celebrated for their freshness, aromatic complexity, and balanced acidity. Historically, Rioja has a winemaking tradition dating back to Roman times. The region gained prominence in the 19th century with the influence of French winemaking techniques, and today it is recognised for its commitment to both traditional and modern practices. Rioja's classification system, including Crianza, Reserva, and Gran Reserva, reflects its dedication to quality and aging potential, making it a benchmark for Spanish wine.
