Description
This Reserva has been produced using hand-picked grapes only from CVNE’s vineyards located in Rioja Alta. This blend of Tempranillo (85%) and Garnacha (15%) it’s loaded with plenty of red fruits and liquorice with an underlying rich vanilla-spiced character.
TASTING NOTE: A deep ruby red colour. On the nose: Brimming with strawberry, raspberry and plum aromas, clear hints of vanilla, liquorice, and cocoa from ageing in American oak barrels. On the palate: Medium in body and full in flavour, with more ripe red fruits, some earthy notes, and a long finish, with smooth well-integrated tannins. It’s juicy and fruity, with a medium to long berry finish.
FOOD PAIRING, STORING AND SERVICE: This wine is easy to drink on its own, a would benefit from a quick decanting if desired, but is also easily enjoyed with food. This wine would match perfectly with roast lamb or mushroom dishes. Drink now till 2026.
