Description
Spain: Rioja
Rich & Powerful Red
Medium-Full Body - Oaked
ABV 14.0% - 75.0cl
In a Nutshell:
An elegant Rioja Reserva with a mix of vibrant red fruit, a whisper of vanilla and spice, and a smooth, balanced finish.
The Lowdown:
A reliable Reserva with all the classic hallmarks: ripe red fruit, a touch of vanilla, and that signature hint of sweet tobacco leaf. Made entirely from Tempranillo, it spends a year in new oak and another in older barrels, giving it depth without heaviness. Silky tannins and a gentle savoury streak add balance, while a lift of freshness keeps things elegant and refined. Traditional at heart, but with a lighter, more polished feel - this is all about grace over power.
The Producer:
Founded in 1890, La Rioja Alta is one of the region's most respected and historic wineries, blending deep-rooted tradition with an ability to move with the times. Unlike many producers in Rioja, who have long relied on buying in fruit, they now source all their grapes exclusively from their own vineyards, ensuring quality and consistency. In particular, their commitment to oak remains unwavering, with an in-house cooperage allowing them to oversee every stage of barrel production. The result is a range of timeless Riojas, crafted through meticulous ageing and unmatched tradition. They set a benchmark for the region with wines that are as elegant as they are enduring.
When to Drink:
Great with smoky paprika-spiced pork belly, mushroom risotto, or even barbecue-glazed cauliflower. Great drinking already, but no rush - it'll happily wait in the cellar for a few more years if you want.
