Gran Reserva

An aged white Rioja made in an elegant, classic style, fitting for one of the region’s most historic wineries. Founded in 1895, Martínez Lacuesta is a reference in Haro and is still managed by the founding family. This 100% Viura wine reflects more than a century of knowhow: fruit comes mostly from a single 1ha vineyard and is fermented in 50% new French oak. It’s a generous, vibrant white Rioja that shows an aged profile with deceptive youthfulness. Beth Willard: Buttery popcorn, bright citrus and waxy lemon skin. Vibrant. Classic profile of baked apple and delicate honey notes. Soft, enveloping oak. Matthew Forster MW: Fine yellow apple fruit, baking spice, bay leaf and coriander seed. Complex, layered, oxidative style. Long, perfumed finish. Andrew Johnson: Very elegant and silky. Lots of purity and delicate orange blossom and other flowers.
