DESCRIPTION
In a nutshell:
Graceful and elegant Rioja Reserva with good depth of flavour.
The lowdown:
To earn the name Reserva a Rioja must spend a year in oak barriques followed 2 further years in bottle before release. Ontanon's Reserva, which is made from 95% Tempranillo and a dash of Graciano, spends its time in a mix of French and American oak and makes a very good example of type with the high acidity, colour and tannin of the Graciano giving it the ageing potential it requires. It has rich aromas of sweet spice, dark red fruits, cedar and tobacco which give way to a silky palate with subtle oak and succulent raisin flavours, and it finishes with lovely softly integrated tannins.
When to drink:
Beautifully structured and perfectly mature this is a Reserva at the peak of its form. Great with things like roast lamb, pork, or turkey or creamy rice dishes like risottos.

PRODUCER
Bodegas Ontanon
The Pérez Cuevas family has been connected to the vineyard for more than 80 years. Even then, they made it in their hermitage-type winery in the Quel Bodegas neighbourhood, following a tradition of more than 300 years.
Over time, they felt the need to share their Cult of Wine with the rest of the world. They founded Ontañón - Temple of Wine in Logroño, a unique winery where our wines ripen watched by gods and mythological heroes in the form of massive sculptures, stained glass and paintings.
