🕰 A white Rioja like no other—aged, layered, and steeped in tradition.

👁 In the Glass:
Deep golden-yellow hue with brilliant clarity, hinting at extended ageing and complexity.

A captivating bouquet of dried chamomile, toasted almond, bruised apple, waxed lemon peel, and warm spices. Notes of lanolin, vanilla, and subtle oxidative character add depth and intrigue.

Bone-dry and richly textured, with layered flavours of orange zest, hazelnut, saline minerality, and creamy oak integration. The palate is lifted by fresh acidity and a whisper of tannin, giving it structure and elegance.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Incredible with roast poultry, lobster in saffron cream, mushroom dishes, and aged Manchego. Also shines with earthy vegetarian fare and complex sauces.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Already gracefully aged upon release, but capable of further development for another 10–20 years.

This is not just wine—it’s liquid heritage. A rare white Rioja Reserva that defies convention, delivering intellectual pleasure, old-school charm, and unmatched complexity. A must for lovers of characterful whites and fine aged wines.
