Product Description
A blend of 95% Tempranillo and 5% Graciano sourced from Rodezno and Fuenmayor vineyards, this Gran Reserva undergoes alcoholic fermentation at 27°C for 16 days followed by natural malolactic fermentation, then ages three years in the estate's own American oak barrels.
Intense garnet in color, it delivers red fruit, raspberry and blackberry layered with clove, vanilla and toasted caramel from extended barrel time. Balanced acidity and smooth, delicate tannins carry into a long, elegant finish.
