La Rioja Alta Rioja Gran Reserva 904 2015

Description

Intense aromas of blackberry jam, raspberry and orange zest over spicy, balsamic notes of cigar box, cedar, liquorice, clove, chocolate mint and toasted wood. Refined on entry, then fresh and lively, with polished, silky tannins. The finish is gentle yet very long, with citrus and balsamic notes lingering.

Tempranillo with a small proportion of Graciano from La Rioja Alta's own vineyards. It is aged for around four years in American oak barrels made in the bodega's own cooperage, racked by hand, then rested in bottle before release.

Superb with roast leg of lamb, venison or aged Manchego.

With a commitment to excellence and a deep respect for their heritage, La Rioja Alta continues to be a symbol of Rioja's rich winemaking tradition.

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.
