Gran Reserva

Ygay’s La Plana is located at nearly 500m and its 80-year-old vines are all dedicated to this landmark wine – and only in the best vintages (including 2005). Calling cards include the high percentage of Mazuelo (12%) and the fact that while the Tempranillo is aged in American oak, the Mazuelo is treated to Allier wood. Now halfway into its second decade, the wine is getting into its stride; encyclopaedic flavours grace the palate, both fruit and savoury, then there are flowers, spice and subtly enveloping tannins. Regal and dignified, this is outstanding even in comparison to other Ygays.
