Gran Reserva 904 2016 75cl

The most classically styled Rioja can be found in Haro, the capital of Rioja Alta, faithfully produced by one of the most popular bodegas in Spain, La Rioja Alta. It was originally founded in 1890 by five Riojan and Basque families, some of which still have a share in the company. In 1996, they invested in a state-of-the-art winemaking facility to further embody their founding pillars of quality, elegance, innovation, and evolution. Renowned for some of the finest traditional Reservas and Gran Reservas in Spain, the bodega produces five estate-grown wines on their 450-hectare property. Planted principally with Tempranillo, they also grow local varieties like Graciano, Garnacha and Mazuelo, that are essential parts to their vinous identity. Gran Reservas 904 and 890, see five to eight years of cask-aging in American oak, ensuing the strictest Riojan traditions. The end results are balanced, intense Tempranillo blends.
