The 2007 La Rioja Alta 'Gran Reserva 904' is just like its predecessors evinified from 90% tempranillo from over 40 year old vineyards in Briñas, Labastida and Villalba and 10% graciano from Briones and Rodezno. After manual harvesting and traditional vinification in stainless steel tubs, the wine was raised in a labor-intensive manner. He matured for more than four years in barriques of American oak that were produced at the winery. The wine has been aged in the bottle for 5 years since bottling. Such a long ripening is unique for a wine of this price range! This Gran Reserva assembly of tempranillo and graciano presents the typical terroir of the region. Together with Vega Sicilia and Tondonia, it is one of the flagships among the great traditional wines of Spain.

To be able to produce the highest possible quality wine, only harvest years are used where the harvest is exceptionally good. When the grapes have a high alcohol content, good color and optimum aging, the wine will be made. When the wine is ready for use, everything is perfect with the wine. This top Rioja hot has a very fine nose with notes of dried honey , cloves, raisins and wild heather that bloom in the glass. The taste is medium-bodied with a hint of orange peel . It dances in the palate , a memorable Rioja with style and panache . The 2007 has received no fewer than 95 Parker points. Great to drink now (or just open a bottle an hour in advance), but can also be imposed for another 15 years.
