🛒Marketplace Product - Please allow up to 3 - 5 days for dispatch.

Tasting Notes: This is a red wine blend of 88% Tempranillo 8% Graciano 2% Maturana 2% Garnacha. Deep ruby red colour, clean and bright. On the nose, it stands out for its intense and complex aroma, where black fruit and plums combine with hints of licorice, accompanied by balsamic notes of bay leaf and a subtle touch of black tea. On the palate, it is elegant and smooth, with a bright and pleasant structure. The long finish is savoury and well-balanced, leaving a lasting sensation that will tempt you to continue sipping.

Serving Temperature: 16–18°C — ideal for mature Rioja Gran Reserva to balance fruit, oak, and savoury complexity.

Decanting: 1–2 hours recommended to open aromatics and soften tannins; multiple tasting notes emphasise improvement with air.

Cellaring Potential: 10–20+ years from vintage.

Food Pairing: Lamb: slow‑roasted, grilled, or braised. Beef: braised beef, steak, slow‑cooked dishes. Game: venison, duck, hare. Cheeses: aged Manchego, other firm aged cheeses and hearty dishes: tomato‑based stews, tapas, charcuterie.
