Tasting Notes

Highly complex aromatics of wild strawberry, red cherry, plum, blackberry, and cranberry mingle with tobacco, brioche, coffee, caramel, cedar, and sweet spice. Polished and refined on the palate, it offers gentle tannins, freshness, and a very long, silky aftertaste.

Food Paring

Pair with slow-roasted meats or hearty stews to echo the wine’s savory spice and layered complexity. It also pairs well with seasoned fish dishes or chocolate-and-berry desserts for a bold contrast.

Professional Reviews

98 James Suckling

"Very impressive complexity and width on the nose, showing lots of savoriness with mushrooms, sandalwood, cedar, sweet spices, dried oranges and tobacco. Really even and juicy on the palate with fine and very present tannins. Juicy, creamy finish lasting a minute. Really elegant and layered. It goes on and on. A real Rioja Gran Reserva and I recommend buying a case! The first vintage that La Rioja Alta labelled ‘Seleccion Especial’. So appealing now, but this will evolve well in the next 20 years."

Region Information

Rioja is one of Spain’s most renowned wine regions, internationally recognized for high‑quality red wines made primarily from Tempranillo. A combination of Atlantic and Mediterranean influences, along with diverse soils, allows Rioja to produce wines known for balance, elegance, and aging potential. Rioja wines range from fresh and fruit‑forward styles to complex, oak‑aged expressions that define classic Spanish winemaking.

Spain has the largest vineyard area in the world and a winemaking history that spans thousands of years. It is known for regions such as Rioja, Ribera del Duero, and Priorat, which produce distinctive red wines. Spain is also famous for fortified wines like Sherry and sparkling Cava. Modern investments and techniques have elevated quality while preserving regional identity.
