This Rioja Alavesa estate founded in 1987 has always been a source of quality wine; its latest Reserva is no different. Sleek aromas of delicate spiced red fruits, with the spice returning in the mouth, and hints of nutmeg lifting the creamy, generously fruited palate.

Rioja 2007
Big chunky aromas of fruit, hint of chocolate, prominent oak, mint and coconut. Rich, jammy fruit with a savoury, salty and peppery finish. Lovely upfront fruit and tannins are in submission. Great length. Will be great.

This fully mature 2007 exhibits lots of tobacco leaf, red and black currants, spice box, oak and fruit…Medium-bodied, supple-textured Rioja.
