Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: full-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, dry
A classic Rioja-style red built around Tempranillo, with supporting roles from Grenache, Carignan, and Graciano lending depth and structure. Gran Reserva extended oak and bottle aging has softened the tannins and coaxed out dried cherry, leather, and cedar notes alongside earthy, herbal complexity. It's a food-friendly wine with enough grip to hold up to rich, meaty dishes while remaining approachable at the table.
Serving: Serve at 16–18 °C.
