Reserva

An elegant, well-crafted Reserva with a stony vibrancy, this is a blend of 71% Tempranillo, 25% Grenache and 4% Viura from old bush vines at 570m in Baños de Rioja, southwest of Haro in Rioja Alta. The fruit was destemmed and co-fermented using native yeasts in concrete tanks, then transferred for malolactic and 18 months' maturation in barrels, 60% of new french oak and 40% second-use American. With blueberry and red berry fruit, the wine offers intense spicy notes, a touch of black pepper and an elegant, direct structure. It is still really young and will develop gracefully over time.
