Tasting note

(Tempranillo, Graciano, Mazuelo.) Bold, perfumed ripe fruit with a leafy edge. Pleasant elegance in the mouth with poise and balance. Succulent too. Will age well. Score - Silver Medal. (International Wine Challenge, 2015)

Garnet in colour, this red boasts a intense nose exuding animal, woody, empyreumatic, spicy and fruity aromas. Discover this full-bodied wine expressing refreshing acidity and offering a broad texture and fleshy tannins. It also unveils a intense mouthfeel that leads into a medium finish.

Intense cherry red colour. Complex and elegant on the nose with aromas of plum and sweet spices including cinnamon and nutmeg. Slight hints of almonds and well-integrated oak. Good structure on the mouth with notes of mature fruit and chocolate. A lively wine with well-concentrated tannins. Long and persistent.

Featured in TASTE Magazine, Winter 2012 issue. This Gran Reserva spends 24 months aging in French and American oak barrels and has the spice and vanilla notes to show for it. It is a classically made Rioja that is made for enjoyment upon release rather than long aging in the cellar. This would be a gorgeous match with slow cooked meats, aged cheese or savoury stew.
