This dark, relatively tight-knit Rioja proves that the Gran Reserva category doesn't just indicate the supremely well-aged, relaxed and reposeful style of Rioja, but can also serve to draw drinkers' attention to outstanding wines of density and tenacity which still have a way to run along their potential ageing trajectories. Look out for dark, urgent fruits here sweetened and back-lit by cunningly angled oak, with intense, deep, fresh and searching flavours in which the 10% of Graciano seems to be working overtime. A Rioja of innate drama.

Wine Enthusiast
Classic Rioja aromas of graphite, cherry, plum and oak are lightly toasted and spicy. On the palate, this offers chewy depth and impeccable balance. Ripe, heady plum, cassis and berry flavors are also nuanced and elegant, while this gran reserva from a ripe vintage tastes of vanilla and mild oak on the finish. For an affordable high-quality gem, look no further. Drink through 2028.

This polished red is focused and harmonious. Black cherry, tea, licorice, dried orange and spice notes mingle over firm, well-integrated tannins, while orange peel acidity keeps this lively. Expressive, in the traditional style. Drink now through 2024.

Lots of vanilla, chocolate-coated blackberries, cedar, tobacco and glazed dark cherries. Medium to full body, succulent tannins and a fruit-driven but tangy finish. Drink in 2021.
Tempranillo is a prominent red grape variety native to Spain, known for producing rich and flavorful wines that are often blended. This versatile grape thrives in regions such as Rioja, Ribera del Duero, and Toro, as well as in Portugal’s DĂŁo and Alentejo. Tempranillo wines typically exhibit a medium to full-bodied texture with smooth tannins and moderate acidity, making them approachable yet complex.
The flavor profile of Tempranillo is characterized by notes of cherry, plum, tomato, leather, vanilla, and tobacco. Aromas of dried fig, cedar, spice, and earthy undertones further enhance its appeal. Winemaking techniques often involve oak aging—using either American or French oak—and controlled fermentation temperatures; some lighter styles may even utilize carbonic maceration. These wines pair beautifully with grilled meats, paella, chorizo dishes, aged cheeses, and mushroom risotto—making them suitable for both casual dining and special occasions.
