Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: medium-bodied, medium acidity, dry
This Gran Reserva white blends Chardonnay with the traditional Rioja white grape Macabeo, giving a wine with more body and oak-driven richness than a typical crisp white. Expect notes of baked apple, vanilla, and toasted almond from extended barrel aging, with a soft, rounded texture rather than sharp acidity. It's a good match for richer white-meat dishes or creamy, nutty cheeses.
