La Rioja Alta S.A. Gran Reserva 904 Seleccion Especial

Region: Rioja, Spain

Vintage: 2015

Bottle size: 75cl

Grape: 90% Tempranillo 10% Graciano

ABV: 14.5%

Medium-high robe with an elegant garnet rim. Great aromatic complexity, with notes of wild strawberry, red cherry, plum, blackberry and cranberry combined with aromas of tobacco, brioche, ground coffee, caramel, cedar and cinnamon blossom. The alcohol and acidity are elegantly balanced on the palate and its polished, gentle tannins and freshness provide a smooth and refined mouthfeel

Tempranillo (90%) is the main variety. Grapes are selected from our vineyards in Villalba, Briñas and Rodezno, and are blended with 10% Graciano from the Montecillo vineyard in Fuenmayor.

Five Riojan and Basque families founded the "Sociedad Vinícola de La Rioja Alta" in Haro's Station District. The first president was a woman: Doña Saturnina García Cid y Gárate. Monsieur Vigier, a Frenchman, was the House's first winemaker and the Reserva 1890 (predecessor of today's Gran Reserva 890) is the first wine he made. Founded in the 19th Century, growing in the 20th Century and still passionate in the 21th Century
