Mainly from 40 year old Tempranillo vines, this beautiful Rioja has 10% Grenache included in its mix to give a bit more body and fragrance. The wine is matured in American and French oak which imparts a sweet savoury element and some 'tar'/liqourice/vanilla from the charred oak. This obviously gives an extra dimension to the cherry, berry and plum flavours with a light smoky interest, whilst red berry juicy acidity keeps everything fresh and focussed. This works extremely well with barbequed foods.
