Description

Rich, mature and complex, with ripe figs, cherries, plums, tomato jam and dried apricot alongside cigar box, leather and spices of cinnamon, clove and nutmeg. The palate is harmonious and velvety, with oak and fruit tannins fully integrated. Elegant and long, with an enduring, gently savoury finish.

Made from Tempranillo grown on the family estate in Cuzcurrita de Río Tirón, on the north-western edge of Rioja. As a Gran Reserva it has spent years in oak and bottle, and has been held back at the bodega until fully mature.

Ideal with roast game, slow-cooked lamb or a board of 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.
