La Rioja Alta Gran Reserva 890, 2010

One of the best of the 21st century.
One of the most Atlantic vintages of recent years, it has enabled us to obtain wines of great freshness and complexity, ideal for long ageing.
Officially rated as Excellent. 
 
Tempranillo (95%) and Mazuelo (2%) from our own vineyards in Briñas, Labastida and Villalba and Graciano (3%) from Montecillo vineyard in Fuenmayor. 
 
It stands out for its medium garnet red colour, with an incipient iodine tinge on the rim of the glass.
The nose reveals the characteristic notes of Rioja classicism: cherry jam, black plum compote, tobacco leaf, cinnamon, vanilla, pepper and chocolate powder.
The refinement of its tannins and its gentle freshness lend this wine an elegant and pleasant mouthfeel.
Classic Rioja bouquet, broad, complex, round and with an elegant finish. This Gran Reserva 890 has a long life ahead of it.
 
Recommended with main courses with light sauces, meat stews with herbs and desserts with chocolate. It is ideal as an after-dinner drink.
