Chat with Vinny
Gloriously mature, silky and very complex Gran Reserva – the pinnacle of quality in Rioja. They're only made in exceptional vintages and they must be aged for at least five years, two of them in cask. All this from a 5-star cellar at a great price.
Tasting notes
Concentrated cherry and prune with notes of tobacco and spicy oak
Aroma
Black cherry and raspberry aromas with a hint of creamy oak

Here’s another great example of why our Buyer for Spain, Beth Willard, has been named ‘Off Trade Personality of the Year’ by Rioja’s regional council. Fluent in Spanish, Beth has a host of contacts in the region and is always ready to swoop on treasures like these. This magnificent Gran Reserva was a cancelled order from a very famous cellar and one of the best vintages in recent years, classed officially as excellent. They agreed to give Beth a special deal if we agreed not to name them, so if you care more about the liquid in the bottle than the name on its label, this is the Rioja Gran Reserva for you. Patiently matured since 2005, it displays complex flavours of evolved dark fruit layered with spice. THE classic match for roast lamb.
