Description
In a nutshell:
An elegant and refined Rioja Gran Reserva from a tradtional and respected winery.
The lowdown:
Bodegas La Rioja Alta stand shoulder to shoulder with the top producers in this region and respect the traditonal ways of making Rioja and produce a raft of really sought after wines. The 2012 vintage saw their well established Viña Arana upgraded to Gran Reserva for the first time. It's made from 95% Tempranillo with just a small amount of Graciano being blended in later in 2016 shortly before bottling. Fresh and graceful, on the nose it's got a real aromatic intensity while on the palate the soft tannins hold the ripe red fruit and balsamic notes together really well and lead to a refined, cultivated finish.
When to drink:
While it's good drinking now it also has plenty of ageing potential. Perfect with roast red meats, hearty stews and casseroles. And brilliant savoured all by itself.
