Description

Dark cherry and plum with sweet vanilla, coconut and spice from American oak, backed by savoury notes of tobacco and leather. The palate is full and structured, with ripe tannins and fresh acidity carrying the fruit to a long, warming finish. A bold, generous Reserva.

Made mainly from Tempranillo planted in 1981 at Finca La Dehesa, with a little Mazuelo from Finca Santa Ana, planted in 1986, both in Murillo de Río Leza. Aged in American oak and named in honour of the town's first inhabitants.

Serve with roast lamb, chargrilled steak or a rich beef stew.

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.
