Product Notes

La Rioja Alta Gran Reserva 904 is an exquisite Spanish wine ripe with history and pedigree. Boasting a vivid ruby colour, it offers a harmonious fusion of delicious wild fruit and spiced, toasty undertones, shaped by its 4-year ageing process. As it reaches the palate, expect a full-bodied explosion of flavours, including berries, plum and liquorice. The velvety tannins lend a comfortable finish, leaving a lingering taste of vanilla and clove. An age-worthy wine, its complexity develops elegantly over time. Ideal for a sophisticated palate, it is a celebration of the exceptional craftsmanship of La Rioja winemakers.

Tasting Notes

Typical red colour, with brick tones on the edge of the glass. Medium robe, clear and brilliant. Long, penetrating and complex bouquet, with hints of spices, balsam and old leather against a background of ripe fruit. Well-structured to the palate, with silky, rich tannins, ending with some acidity which fortell a long life for this vintage. Excellent aftertaste, with persistent balsamic and spicy hints. Excellent with main dishes and chocolate desserts.
