🍇 Complex, Structured, and Elegantly Spiced
A serious, refined Rioja Reserva that layers ripe fruit with savoury and spicy complexity—harmonious, deep, and beautifully long on the finish.

🍷 In the Glass
Deep ruby with garnet reflections—concentrated, polished, and elegant.

👃 On the Nose
Complex and expressive, showing blueberry, ripe cherry, and blackcurrant, intertwined with notes of forest floor, mint, black pepper, and cinnamon, all lifted by a subtle floral background.

🍷 On the Palate
Rounded and structured, with Tempranillo’s ripe fruit core enhanced by Graciano’s aromatic lift. The texture is smooth yet firm, carrying layers of dark and red fruit, gentle spice, and savoury nuance through to a long, harmonious finish.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Excellent with roast lamb, beef Wellington, game dishes, slow-cooked stews, or aged Manchego.

⏳ Ageing Potential
Drinking beautifully now, but will continue to evolve gracefully over 8–12 years, gaining further complexity and polish.
