La Rioja Alta Gran Reserva 904 2015

- Intense, deep cherry-red with a garnet-red rim. Intense and complex aromas, dominated by fruit (blackberry jam, raspberries, and orange zest) reveal underlying spicy and balsamic notes of cigar box, cedar licorice, cloves, chocolate mints, and toasted wood. Elegantly refined entry. Fresh and lively in the mouth, nicely balanced with polished, silky tannins and a gentle, delicate finish. Very long aftertaste, with citrus and balsamic notes that provide long, complex final sensations.
Tempranillo (89%) from vines over 60 years old planted in Brias, Rodezno, and Villalba, and Graciano (11%) from our Montecillo vineyard in the municipality of Fuenmayor. The grapes were collected in boxes and transported to the winery in refrigerated vehicles to preserve their integrity. After destemming and light crushing, the grapes were put in tanks where they underwent alcoholic fermentation for 17 days.
Batches were selected and allowed to complete malolactic fermentation naturally over 75 days. In June 2012, the wine was transferred to four-and-a-half-year-old American oak barrels (made in-house), where it stayed until March 2015. During aging, the wine was racked eight times using traditional barrel-barrel methods. The final blend was bottled in November 2016.
