Description

Wine made from the selection of Tempranillo grapes . This wine comes from the best grapes, from vineyards over 20 years old. It spends two years in French and American oak barrels and approximately two years in the bottle. The wine has been aged further in the Bodega and only released recently. A stunning example of mature and ready to drink Rioja at a fabulous price.

A wonderful nose of medium intensity, of great finesse where the black fruit, black cherry and black plum, appears perfectly assembled with the oak, truffle and spice. Very round without any harsh tannin, the maximum expression of harmony and balance.

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.
