- Colour
Deep, dense cherry red with garnet reflections at the rim.
- Nose
Ripe dark berries such as blackberry and black cherry, accompanied by fine roasted notes, vanilla, spices and a hint of balsamic and Mediterranean herbs.
- Palate
Dry, full-bodied and concentrated at 14.5% vol.; succulent dark fruit, silky yet grippy tannins, fresh acidity and a long, spicy finish with a mineral echo.
- Character
An elegant, powerful Rioja with depth and structure – the Graciano grape brings freshness and spice, while the old Tempranillo vines contribute density and complexity.
- Pairing
Herb-crusted rack of lamb, braised beef cheeks or aged Manchego.
- Notes
Grapes are sourced from the estate’s roughly 70 vineyard sites across nine villages at the foot of the Sierra Cantabria, with vines averaging 60 years of age. On the sorting table, the bunches are cut in half; only the sunnier shoulders go into the Reserva, while the tips are destined for the Erre Punto.
