Bodegas Ontanon Gran Reserva Rioja 2011

Bodegas Ontanon Gran Reserva Rioja 2011 Rioja Oriental, Rioja, Spain

A top class Gran Reserva Rioja from this family-owned estate in Rioja Baja (now Rioja Oriental) offering complexity and finesse. The Tempranillo and Graciano grapes are sourced from La Pasada Vineyard, at 700-800m altitude. The wine spends 36 months in a mixture of American and French oak, and 24 months in bottle prior to release.

Beautifully developed Rioja with aromas of dark fruit, red cherry, spice, tobacco and mocha. The palate shows complexity and structure with layers of black fruit, spice and toasty oak to give a long and elegant finish. Serve with roast meat dishes, or simply with fine ham and cheeses.
