Description

Sweet vanilla and coconut from American oak over dried strawberry, fig and a little balsamic lift. With time in bottle the fruit has turned savoury and the tannins soft and dusty, leading to leather and tobacco leaf on the finish. Mature, complex and drinking beautifully now.

Tempranillo from Familia Martínez Bujanda, making wine in Rioja since 1889. As a Gran Reserva, it has spent at least two years in American oak and a further three in bottle before release.

Roast lamb is the obvious partner, but try it with Manchego, jamón or grilled chorizo.

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.
