Winemaker César Fernández sources the finest Tempranillo grapes from the 3 areas of Rioja, Alavesia, Alta and Oriental to make this ageworthy Reserva. Using finely seasoned America oak barrels he ages the wines for 24 months and then a further year in bottle to produce this complex yet mellow red. Belinda Kleinig M&S Winemaker
