Product Notes

Bodegas LAN Culmen Rioja Reserva wine is an elegant Spanish vintage from the prestigious Rioja region. This sumptuous blend predominantly features Tempranillo and Mazuelo grapes. The result is an opulent, full-bodied wine with delicate, ripe red fruit flavours, seamlessly combined with sophisticated undertones of sweet spices and dark chocolates. Matured in French oak barrels, Culmen presents a balanced structure and velvety texture with a remarkably expressive and persistent finish. Its dark, ruby hue simply delights the eye, whilst the nose is treated to a floral bouquet with hints of blackberry and vanilla. An exquisite addition to any wine collection.

Tasting Notes

Deep cherry red in colour. On the nose, the 'Culmen' is elegant and layered with a bouquet that combines black cherry and blackberry with mineral nuances typical of Viña Lanciano, a beautifully integrated spiciness from the oak and tertiary notes of leather and earth. This wine treads the fine line between power and elegance, with firm but velvety tannins and a bright acidity that carries the complex flavours onto the long and persistent finish.
