“Nose of barrel influenced leather, spice, rustic char/graphite, crusty bread. There’s a garrigue-y thing going on, even wild thyme. Creamy red fruit on palate, moderate acid, good grip, tannins are rustic but clearly polished by time in bottle. This is a really good, complex bottle of Reserva Rioja, void of coconut and anything apparent or expected. I imagine this is what old-fashion Rioja was like in the1950-60’s, and this bottle should age for a long time” - From La Luz Selections
Hand-picked fruit is destemmed, and allowed to go through native fermentation with twice daily pump-overs favored over punch-downs to retain freshness. The 3% Viura is co-fermented with Mazuelo and Graciano as it is co-planted with each variety from their 100+ year old sites. Post fermentation, the wine is aged in 90% French, 10% American Oak for 18 months before bottling without fining or filtration. The Wine is then aged in bottle for 30 months before release.
